I have one of the above + 2x 1TB SATA disks - the question I have is whether I should use the BIOS setup to create a RAID 1 array or use the "soft RAID" within NAS4FREE ??
I have tried to use the BIOS (because it may be faster) and it sets up the array OK but still 2 drives appear in the NAS drive menus - it doesn't matter which I choose to add it formats OK as UFS but when I try to mount it it fails with a permission error.
When I reboot the Promise BIOS complains that one of the drives has failed.
The drives are fine as ordinary SATA drives under XP and WIN7.
I'm a bit of a NAS4Free newbie - Am I missing a trick here or have I got entirely the wrong end of the stick?
TIA
Dave

Those cheap controller are not hardware raid controllers. The raid is done in the driver and is not supported under freebsd. You should be using the nas4free software raid anyway.
