(either 4 or 5) I'm considering constructing a simple RAID 1 array for my home network file server. So far I've narrowed it down to a HighPoint RocketRAID 133 or the RocketRAID 1520 to go into my Celeron 400/66 & ABIT BH6 system. Can you hot swap the IDE drives? How is the management/monitoring within FreeBSD? How well do the HighPoint drivers behave? What about Promise cards? I know they don't have a FreeBSD management utility, but if they are stable enough I guess I can rebuild the array within the BIOS utility. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
