It's  Possible .  we do it  all the  time with  Hardware  RAID. LIke   LSI 
Logic 1064  controllers. 
or the  Mylex raid controllers. 

    Its the  Phony RAID  present in  Consumer MOtherboards  which  usually  
need a software 
 assist  from a driver  within the Operating system that is  unusable since 
most of time 
 only MS Windows drivers are available for the RAID'let

  These  sneaky RAID  things  sits in chipsets  on the motherboard   like 
Nvidia Nforce  or 
  the ATI thing you have  whitout  their own processors , so they need to have 
Assist from 
  the Main Processor  on the board.  A Real RAID controller  comes with its own 
CPU.
