Hi all,
Brand new to Truenas, but have some experience with servers and tech.
I have this old 3ware promise card I was trying to use to load up my old IDE drives for some cold storage through Truenas. It works great and I was using it on Windows 2008 server for years. I was expecting to set the drives as "just a bunch of disks". Would this works as a pass through or would the raid card still control them? I also noticed that my Truenas install does not see the controller automagically, so I would need help installing the driver for this controller. Not sure how to go about that. =) Fairly new to FreeBSD and command line.
If this controller is just too old or this is just not a great idea, lol... please recommend a HBA controller.
I have a pcie16x, pcie 2x, and a pci(I think think 6x) slot available. My motherboard is a Asus P5N-E SLI, with 8GB memory, Intel Core 2 Quad Cpu Q66600 @2.40Ghz
Not the fastest ship in the galaxy, but she'll get me there...
Thank you for your time and expertise!
