The RAID controller on this board is a sort of halfway house between pure
software RAID and a true dedicated hardware solution, although it's nearer
the "hardware" than the "software" end of the scale. It uses a small amount
of processor resources but many people run this sort of solution and it
works fine for most. Given the cost and complexity of a full hardware
controller it's a more than acceptable compromise for most situations.
