Hi,
I'm building myself a new box with more storage and the motherboard doesn't have enough SATA ports.
So after going here http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.1R/hardware.html and having a read
I found that I can use this "Adaptec ASR 2405" which I already had one sitting in the cupboard.
So if I do use this card (setup as JBOD of course) and one or more drives fail that are connected to that controller is it just a matter of removing the drive in Freenas and replacing it or will the drive have to be imported back into the controller card first and then into Freenas?
The reason I'm concerned is that removing the failed drive and replacing it in the 2405 controllers ACU menu as JBOD might delete/loss data on the other 3 drives connected wouldn't it?
