I see the list littered with many unanswered RAID questions, is anyone = using hardware based RAID with FreeBSD 5.X? If so what exactly do you have = for equipment? =20 Want to get 2 identical 74Gb drives, could be SATA or SCSI, would like = to setup controller or bios to to the RAID - not software raid. e.g. create the = mirror set in BIOS then install BSD. =20 I have purchased *nothing* yet. I'd like an easy to set up (via BIOS) = RAID 1 set, then install FreeBSD 5.3 onto it, FreeBSD would see the Raided set = of disks as ONE disk. =20 The old HP SCSI Raid Controllers would make a very loud alarm noise when = the RAID array was in trouble, I really want this feature! Anyone recommend a nice compatible card or board that will do what I = want? =20 =20 I am grateful for your answers. =20 Eric =20 "That is not a puzzle, Grasshopper. It is only something you do not yet understand." -Master Po =20
