> best choice, right?
> 2-Unfortunately the drives are not as fancy as my current servers.  
> It has two SATA 160GB drives, set up in software RAID mode. For now,  
> I want to set up fbsd in SW RAID mode too (too little time to buy  
> other drives!). Can anyone explain me briefly how I can set it up?

> Tnx in advance and cheers,
