Yes ,  Veritas and Solaris Volume manager and ZFS    is  software  RAID 0/1/5 
whatever  .....
LSI and Mylex  is not software Raid. 

Nvidia and ATI   is someplace in between.   It has a hardware component  but 
lacks  compute resource 
for certain tasks  and therefore needs operating system assist. 

NVIDA and ATI probably needs to be more "open"  than they are ......
