Been reading on the forums trying to decide if I should buy a raid controller for my freenas machine.
Now i've found a couple of posts where it is mentioned that it might not be very smart to setup a hardware raid in freenas, because freenas want's control of the disks and the raid. So now i'm wondering if it has any use to buy the raid controller, and if so, which one and what should i look at?
At the moment i'm using a couple (2x 2TB) of sata drives (zfs) that are connected to the mainboard. But with this setup the read/write speeds are very slow (40Mb/s). So i'm trying to speed up things.
