mixing IDE and SATA hard drives on a FreeBSD system

[Andrew L. Gould]

My AMD K6-2 computer is in the shop getting upgraded to AMD64.  If 
FreeBSD 5.4 is released next week, the timing couldn't be better.

I was thinking about putting FreeBSD and swap on the ATA100 IDE hard 
drive and installing a SATA hard drive for home and database data.  Is 
there any reason I shouldn't mix hard drive types?  (I've never messed 
with SATA before.)

Thanks,

Andrew
