I have an two-disk external box with both USB and eSATA interface. Go with eSATA, which is better supported as a disk. I use mine as a ZFS mirror. I have a SiI3124 SATA controller which isn't recognized by the generic kernel, but works fine once I put a suitable hint in loader.conf: # for external SATA siis_load="YES" I also have three USB disks configured as a ZFS RAID which I use for backups. It works OK, but I wouldn't want to depend on it from day to day. R's, John
