I have a dimension 9150 that I am going to put amd64 freebsd on to play
with.
It has Intel ICH7 SATA300 on it, in the bios it says it can do raid.
I'm assuming that would be a hardware raid..
Would I be better off just using two disks and mirror them in software

configurations, which is not always the case otherwise.
