Help Building a NAS – RAID controller?
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.
