My supplier sold me an adaptec 1420SA which I've come to the conclusion is a POS and not worth the PCB it's etched on. and isn't supported at all under BSD. I don't need RAID support of any kind, but it would be nice to have 4 ports to plug in drives. Cheap is ok, provided I can access the drives under FreeBSD and set up gmirror on the drives. What are other people using for controlling SATA drives? Good? Bad? just plain Ugly? Cheers Tim -- Tim Aslat Spyderweb Consulting http://www.spyderweb.com.au Mobile: +61 0401088479
