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.
R's,
John
