This is the first time i get so many answer to a question in a mailing list.... many thanx to all... So let's sort the problems: 1. I need 8/10 gigs of useable space on the system and i'll try to get it with software RAID: should be better to use 3 x 4gigs than 2 x 9 gigs (as my original idea). After all your posts i concluded (sorry for my english) that 3 x 4 gigs is less expensive and faster, but... is the software RAID configuration the same? or with RAID3 it is more difficult than RAID1? 2. This is the first time i install FreeBSD. I used a lot linux before. Can i set up the whole system with software RAID and get it to work anyway if one disk fail? (as in HW RAID). 3. Where can i find an hardware compatibility lists for RAID controllers? i've read the Handbook but i only found classic SCSI cards. Any suggestion about a specific controller?
