I have already verified with Dell that these hard disks are compatible with Dell's hardware. My questions to you are: 1) Are any or all of these disks compatible with FreeBSD 2) Is there a limit to how big a partition can be within BSD (i.e. - bsd can see the hardware of a 20gb drive, but can only recognize 7gb of it) Thanks in advance.
