Linux Software RAID is inexpensive, well documented, and supported by practically all IDE controllers.  You do not _need_ a hardware RAID controller to do RAID with Linux thanks to Linux Software-RAID.  Please see [[Software RAID on Linux]] for information.Linux Software [[RAID]] is inexpensive, well documented, and supported by practically all IDE controllers.  You do not _need_ a hardware RAID controller to do RAID with Linux thanks to Linux Software-RAID.  Please see [[Software RAID on Linux]] for information.Most ATA RAID host adapters (except 3Ware Escalade, Adaptec 24x0, Areca, HP/Compaq, IBM ServeRAID, Intel SRC*/ICP Vortex, LSI Logic MegaRAID 150-4/150-6, and Tekram) turn out, upon examination, to not be real hardware RAID, but rather software/BIOS-dependent fakeraid. If your installer finds no block devices or has other problems, please realize that all Linux SATA support is still (2004-01) hit or miss. Users of 3Ware cards should have no problems.
