This is what the Linux folks call "fake RAID". It is not a hardware RAID controller; it is just an on-disk RAID format that the BIOS can understand. (So, for example, a RAID 1 boot disk pair can lose either drive and the BIOS can still boot from it.) You manage these gadgets with mdadm, just like any software RAID. See http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/rste/sb/CS-033622.htm for details. It works fine if what you want is a redundant boot drive done simply. - Pat
