It is termed "fakeraid". It is not hardware raid. The only hardware that exists for it is a couple of entries in the bios and on the disk saying the disk are raid. All of the work is done in the driver/OS. And generally on linux (and windows) it has been poorly supported and always needed an add-on driver and that add-on driver sometimes breaks on updates. And this fakeraid would also prevent you from moving these disks to another motherboard (not of the same type). Avoid using it and use linux md software raid.
