These use regular IDE drives so you can plug them to any PC (Note, = you're voiding the warranty if you open the box). If FreeBSD OS is installed on them, the first thing I'd do is try to = boot from the HD unless a custom kernel was made. If this is not bootable drive, just UFS file system, then use FreeBSD = Boot CD off freebsd.org to boot the thing and mount the drive according = to what the drive is named e.g. mount /dev/ad1s1a / Good luck!
