He means that if you are using hardware RAID it actually sees the two  
drives as a single drive. You can't partition some of the drive as  
RAID 1, some as RAID 0, and some as just a standard partition. Also,  
you can't move them to a machine with a different RAID controller  
usually and still read them.
