After reading a bit more on hardware and the M1015 cards etc, as my NAS box is only for a home server, I don't need the speeds which a SAS to sata card would give. And to be quite honest , after reading a post which a user had problems with FreeNAS not booting and hard drives not being recognised , its kind off put me off somewhat.
I don't feel brave enough yet to go through the procedure required to get FreeNAS booting up and all drives showing.
Thanks for the explanations, and I'll do some more reading before I go any further.
