but it's still FAKEraid....I'm not going to spend $200-$300 on a sata raid card when I can use bios raid or linux raid. And SCSI drives/raid card would be way too much and overkill for what I am doing.
What sucks is that /boot can't be on a raid partition since dmraid won't be loaded till during the boot process. And If I raid5 my 4x80gb sata drives in linux I could move them to another sytem and not have to change the data or array.
