I'll second this. Beware of fakeraid. Even if you get it
running, I can almost guarantee you will regret it later.
Think about it. Do you trust the BIOS/motherboard vendor
to be responsible for the integrity of your filesystem?
Linux software raid is likely to be faster as well as more
reliable. The only downside I can see is that it might create
some issues were you to want to create a dual boot system.
