This will get me by performance to a workable speed until I can come up with a more permanent solution, and keep me from spending more money this month so I have a little bit left to add to my savings account. I am also looking around, and I have enough spare components to build another machine and just run it with the case open and do a shutdown and swap hard drives, but I might go broke paying my electric bill if I keep adding new PCs for everything. -- Thanks, Dean E.

Re: USB 3 / eSATA support
I have an two-disk external box with both USB and eSATA interface. Go with eSATA, which is better supported as a disk. I use mine as a ZFS mirror. I have a SiI3124 SATA controller which isn't recognized by the generic kernel, but works fine once I put a suitable hint in loader.conf: # for external SATA siis_load="YES" I also have three USB disks configured as a ZFS RAID which I use for backups. It works OK, but I wouldn't want to depend on it from day to day.

USB 3 / eSATA support
I am working on setting up a Bacula backup to an external hard drive. The server I am running this on has an on-board USB 2 controller, however the external USB 3 SATA drive doc I am using is only being recognized as USB 1. It does correctly load as USB 2 or USB 3 if I move it to my windows machine which has both USB 2 and USB 3 ports. Before I spend money adding a USB 3 card to the server in order to get the external drive doc to load as USB 3, I was wondering if anyone had any good or bad things to say about FreeBSD's USB 3 support. Would I be a lot safer spending money on an eSATA card and a eSATA doc, knowing that this would give be better performance, but would prefer to not spend any more money than I have to. Or maybe someone would have an idea as to something I could tweek to get more than 1MB/s transfer speed from my existing setup, if I could get the full speed of USB2.0 this would run adequate for my needs. dmesg output for current devices information: ohci0: mem 0xfbf7f000-0xfbf7 irq 22 at device 2.0 on pci0 usbus0: on ohci0 ehci0: mem 0xfbf7ec00-0xfbf7ecff irq 23 at device 2.1 on pci0 usbus1: on ehci0 ohci1: mem 0xfbf7d000-0xfbf7dfff irq 20 at device 4.0 on pci0 usbus2: on ohci1 ehci1: mem 0xfbf7e800-0xfbf7e8ff irq 21 at device 4.1 on pci0 usbus3: on ehci1 ugen0.3: at usbus0 umass0: 3> on usbus0 umass0: SCSI over Bulk-Only; quirks = 0x umass0:0:0:-1: Attached to scbus0 da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 scbus0 target 0 lun 0 da0: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device da0: 1.000MB/s transfers da0: 953869MB (1953525168 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 121601C) Current machine is running a Biostar TPower N750 Motherboard, and the external drive doc is an INEO I-NA317U-Plus. -- Thanks, Dean E.
