The ataraid driver in recent stock kernels is not working; I had to patch my kernel with the latest driver. It's also easier to compile the driver in the kernel instead of using it as a module since it requires to make a new initrd image. For raid 1, you can always use software raid. IMHO, the only advantage of using the ataraid driver is for a double boot system (Windows+Linux). -- Marc
