<div>I know i just sent an email about Raid, but what is a FreeNAS server?</div>
<p> </p>
<div>>I used software RAID to build one array. There were SCSI drives, SCSI II<br>drives and IDE drives, enough for about 80 gigs total, which was a lot for the<br>day. </div>

<div>So it is possible to put a bunch of different drives together. Nice. So you don't need a hardware raid, just connections (SATA/IDE) for all the drives you want. Can you have 10 SATA drives with 4 IDE's in one box?
