Most people opt just to use software raid...it works with windows and with linux, it doesn't require proprietary drivers, the drives can move to another computer/controller and still work and probably faster, more reliable and a well known set of tools to administer the raid. That said, perhaps someone can help you with your objectives - my comment was that few people are likely to be familiar with your hardware and the requirements to make it work. Good luck Craig
