The two variations your are talking about are referred to as RAID 0 + 1, or RAID 10 depending on the order you stripe and mirror. I assume this is hardware RAID so FreeBSD shouldn't even know its there. You will create a logical drive from the RAID set you create and that is what FBSD will see. That is one of the reasons I like hardware RAID vs software RAID is the OS doesn't even know about it, it is just a drive to the OS. Steve Barnette
