On a somewhat related note.. In my experience V-RAID is utter crap - if one of your disks fails in a RAID1 array and you reboot it will give you 2 options - erase the first part of your disk and boot, or sit and do nothing. When I asked my motherboard vendor about this they suggested I switch to SATA mode (to boot off one disk) or to put another disk in and rebuild... Not exactly good for unattended use.
