If I'm not mistaken, most SATA raid chips are really a psudo software  
raid, done with the driver - and will never be as good as true hardware  
raid.

IE if you want raid, use a real raid controller, like what 3Ware offers  
(or a SCSI raid controller)

If software raid is good enough, use the kernel software raid rather  
than a kludge device made for marketing buzzword purposes.

Please someone correct me if my understanding of SATA raid is  
incorrect.
