(As you set up the array in bios even.) it's not a correct assumption anymore; yes you can write the magic sectors to the disk via the bios.... and the bios can even read the format so that you can boot from it (but the bios does it on the host cpu) > like these "RAID" controllers are kind of like Winmodems... offloading > the real work to the CPU and OS. Or am I still not getting this right?? well it's basically pure software raid with bios boot support... (Note: with raid1 there is basically no cpu overhead so you won't notice... :)
