But I can not recommend to use the pseudo raid feature offered by the controller chip. I did tests with PDC20265 using the Promise driver and the kernel driver and with both performance of a Raid0 array with 2 fast 80GB WD drives was poor. Less transfer rates than each drive as single. So better use software raid.
