Hello, I have a dual-boot FreeBSD 6.2/WinXP system that usually runs under FreeBSD, with the exception of when I'm working with and processing photos from my digital camera (Canon 400D/Rebel XTi). In order to store and manage my images, I've purchased two 500GB SATA disks, and would like to set them up in a RAID-1/mirroring configuration. Since I'm going to be accessing these files when I'm running under both Windows and FreeBSD, the geom/gmirror solution won't work for me. Would anyone be able to advise me on an inexpensive SATA RAID card that would be well supported by FreeBSD? I don't need anything fancy - just something with 2 SATA ports capable of doing RAID-1, and which is (well) supported by FreeBSD (and Windows). For info - current setup is running on an MSI K8N Neo4 motherboard with an AMD Athlon processor... Any advice, experience, suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance! tom
