This is what the Linux folks call "fake RAID". It is not a hardware
RAID controller; it is just an on-disk RAID format that the BIOS can
understand. (So, for example, a RAID 1 boot disk pair can lose either
drive and the BIOS can still boot from it.)

You manage these gadgets with mdadm, just like any software RAID. See
http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/rste/sb/CS-033622.htm for
details.

It works fine if what you want is a redundant boot drive done simply.
