This is not hardware RAID at all, it's just cheap software RAID on a chip. The RAID logic is passed onto a proprietary driver that runs off you CPU. Why anyone would trust their data to a cheap proprietary piece of kit is beyond me.

The answer to what I wrote above is Linux Software RAID, as Gabriel's HOWTO explains. It's tried and proven, has good recovery tools, and doesn't keep your data dependent upon a proprietary hardware/driver combination. -- "If you set a man by a fire, you keep him warm all day, but set a man on fire and you keep him warm the rest of his life." - Terry Pratchett
