Hi, I am planning to build an OpenBSD storage server for home use. I was wondering if I could get some advice before I buy the hard disks. I am looking at either a couple of Samsung 750GB spinpoint's or the 1TB Seagate Barracuda. I understand AHCI support was added to 4.2 and I'd like to know if NCQ can give me a little more performance...Is the AHCI driver generic enough that *any* SATA2 drive will benefit from it?
I'll be using a cheap Athlon X2 / 1GB / Gig ethernet / mATX board to complete the setup. I will definitely use OpenBSD's RAIDCtl for RAID 1 instead of the crappy on-board chips motherboard makers ship nowadays. Please forgive me if this question is OT and too "noob'y" TIA, Ravi
