I am new to the FreeBSD area. I am currently thinking of purchasing a hard drive to devote completely to FreeBSD. Will FreeBSD 2.1 be having support for EIDE? Right now, I can't decide on what type of hard drive to buy for my system. Currently my setup is: Pentium 90 MHz (Zeos Pantera system) 16 megs RAM 3.5" floppy SCSI CD-ROM drive 528 meg HD (Segate ST5660A) 81 meg HD (Western Digital WDAC280) Sound Blaster Pro card 14.4 internal modem (Supra) Adaptec 1522 SCSI control integrated on motherboard ** The motherboard has am integrated EIDE controller able to support 4 HDs. I was thinking about purchasing one of the following: Quantum Empire 1080 meg SCSI-2 HD (IMP1080S) Quantum Capella 1108 meg SCSI-2 HD (VP32210S) Western Digital 1080 meg EIDE HD (WDAC31000) Would anyone have any ideas on how their performance would be like in the current version of FreeBSD? Or opinions of other hard drives that I should consider purchasing? (Something in the size of 1 GB to about 1.5 GB.) Kevin kleung@uop.cs.uop.edu
