As that is old hardware (however I=E2=80=99ve got a lot of them, from a = research compute cluster), my home machine is a Dell server class = machine - 8 drive bays vs. 4 on the old Mac Pro, and none on the current = Mac Pro=E2=80=A6 Marius > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to = "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
