Did you use a 80- or 40-ATA cable? If you've configured your drives to do UATA-66 or faster then FreeBSD (or any other OS for that matter) will crash if you connect a second drive... This is new one to me! I guess my 3 x UATA-100 are super drives of some sort not to crash!!

If I were going to run RAID-1, I would pick two disks of the same size but different brands (Samsung and Hitachi 250Gb say). If you buy two disks of the same brand at the same time from the same supplier, it always seems to me that you increase the chance that a) they come from the same
