It certainly does. I built a Supermicro server with 3TB drives and IMSM RAID a couple of weeks ago.

so could someone from intel explain how
this is supposed to work?

I'd be interested too. If I need to expand the array on the above, I was expecting to use a Linux live CD and mdadm to do the reshape.
