I have a Asus M2NPV-VM motherboard which supports hardware

configured them as mirrored RAID in BIOS.
Is it really raid or is it fakeraid? Many of these mother-boards
which come with inbuilt raid are not really raid. They are fake
raid which require support from a software driver. In such a case
disable the raid in the BIOS and use mdadm to do software raid
which is anyday better than fakeraid.
I think it is a fakeraid as I got from Google search yesterday. Can you
please explain why a software raid is better than fakeraid and/or what
is fakeraid or some links for me to read. I could not get much from my
search yesterday, but I was mainly searching for hardware raid
configuration.
Also., what RAID card is this? A lspci should tell you.
This is what lspci tells me:
00:0e.0 RAID bus controller: nVidia Corporation MCP51 Serial ATA
Controller (rev a1)
00:0f.0 RAID bus controller: nVidia Corporation MCP51 Serial ATA
Controller (rev a1)
Thanks and regards.
