I have an old Mini ITX mobo with an Eden EPIA M (600 mhz) with 1 PCI slot, I was looking online for ways to turn it into a NAS, and FreeNAS seems like a good choice for the OS. However, I am confused about the interface. I would like 2 SATA drives running either in RAID 0 or 1, meaning I need a PCI card (there’s one slot on the mobo). Do you think something like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816318002 would be compatible with FreeNAS (which is based on FreeBSD).

I guess the bigger question would be how UNIX (FreeBSD/FreeNAS) would handle the hardware RAID card.

I was looking for a card under 30 bucks as well.

Okay so i’ve been trying to learn some BSD for future applications (i run tons of operating systems through virtual machine software) but so far FreeBSD failed, OpenBSD failed, PCBSD ran fine but i hate that it uses KDE, and Desktop BSD looks really good but it won’t get past the X config during start up. it says it’s gonna configure my graphical system and then goes completely black

(their key combination to solve the issue does nothing whatsoever)
