You can just run Linux's normal software raid across the drives. The raid version of the card cost me over twice as much as the non raid version, and apart from having a BIOS which sets up the arrays there is no extra benefits. I should have done more research but mainly deal with SCSI and assumed a RAID card would do RAID in hardware - not software.
