X-BeenThere: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Internet Services Providers List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2007 21:18:44 -0000 Currently using the SiI 3114 SATA150 controller on the motherboard (Tyan2885). 2 *the same* SATA drives are attached, but not running SATA-RAID at the moment. Since I understand that this card does not really provide the RAID itself (and also does not seem as table as preferred on FreeBSD) I am wondering/considering obtaining a RAID card that does and possibly disabling the SiI 314 on the motherboard. However, the question is can that be done without having to reinstall? (I seem to recall that I can not just move SCSI drives from one interface to an interface of an other brand). Thanks! Jan
