I have my main server unixhideout.com running samba. All my windows clients programs such as kaZAa and even their "My documents" save to /mirror /mirror2 /mirror3 and /mirror4 which are writable shares, that way we can reinstall windows weekly if need be (ha) but all important data is safe on FreeBSD. Its working really well for years now. Problem is as you can guess from the subject is i got 4 120 gig hard drives in there, and i would like to have a CDROM and maybe even more disks as needed. A: What is the hardware name of the device i am looking for that will allow more then 4 ide devices to one box. B: do you know of a brand name i should be looking for that you recommend, or even a retailer. *SCSI is expensive and IS better but at this time not an option so please stick with IDE in your suggestions. -- -mike mike@unixhideout.com Network administrator The unixhideout network http://www.unixhideout.com Need to get a hold of me? finger mike@unixhideout.com ----------------------------------------- Free email that kicks ass from UnixHideout "The UnixHideout network" http://www.unixhideout.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
