You can do either in Linux, I believe both work with mdadm. BIOS RAID is
only worth using if you plan to share the array with another OS, though,
like Windows.

Forget fake-raid -- dmraid (though I have used it for years), just use Linux
software RAID (mdadm). Far more flexible and a guaranteed migration path
forward. The overhead for software raid was negligible on on single-core 486
machines, it isn't even in the noise anymore.

Hi,
Can you tell me what is capable to do Arch Linux: Bios Raid (Fake Raid) and
Virtual Raid (Software Raid)?
Thank you!
