it looks like this is a software raid card, you're probably better of
just using mdraid unless your card has a flash backed write cache
module
_or_ you need drive format compatibility with other smart array controllers.
"...Eliminating most of the hardware RAID controller components, and
relocating advanced RAID algorithms from a hardware-based controller
into device driver software lowers the total solution cost,.."
