Problem is with most is that they are "fake" raid cards that actually require
the host to process. This effectively means "software RAID". You can already
do this just using 2 drives on whatever controllers your MB already has if you
really wanted. Now if you want REAL RAID.. well that costs.... Real cards =
less headaches. Its treted as 1 drive. To everything. No screwups, no
direct-acccessing a member drive directly (got hit with this once myself)
