      Hello,

      I want to install pfsense. In Bios there is Sata Legacy Support, AHCI Support and Raid Controller.
      I have 2 Hdds. I wil install pfSense with ZFS mirroring. I want to know which one should I choose? Legacy, AHCI or Raid 0?

        I would choose AHCI there if you're going to use a ZFS mirror.

        The hardware RAID controller may or may not be supported but they do relatively often give problems. I would avoid that and use a ZFS mirror instead if you can.
