Hi,
I am about to embark on building my own NAS, based on the articles on this website. The hardware will be based on the series "How To Build a Really Fast NAS" but I am planning on using FreeNas.
The question I have is in relation to the SATA controller on the ASUS Motherboard (ASUS P5E-VM DO). It says it supports SATA RAID 0/1/0+1/5. As far as I know, FreeNAS does Software RAID'ing so is it using the RAID part of my SATA controller at all?
If it isn't should I be looking at a way to make use of the SATA RAID? Would it be faster/better? And how would I be doing that?
Cheers.
