For which reason do you want RAID? Is it a critical production system which must run and where downtime costs money? Then kick away your cheap controller and by a more expensive one where the chipset runs the RAID logic. Adaptec offers you such high price RAID controllers as well as 3Ware. With such real hardware RAID adapters you only see the RAID array and no single drives. You set up all RAID functions in the controller BIOS and you need no OS driver to have RAID functions. I.e. the 3Ware controllers are auto detected by Fedora Linux and you do not have to care for the RAID setup once you told the controller how to behave in it's BIOS. On the other hand, if you are a home user such hardware RAID controllers are mostly too expensive. Then just use Linux software RAID. Ok, I feel you got enough explanations. If still unsure please search this list's archive and do google search. The thing is really simple.
