Debain Edu doesn't use the whole disk.
depends on the sata raid chipset. many sata onboard raid chips are just
fakeraids where the raid is implemented in driver software. with a tiny
bit of inteligence to manage to boot from it. They are usualy inferior
to linux software raid in most aspects. And I would strongly recomend
using linux software raid instead.
If you have a REAL hardware raid on the machine I would use that.
lspci can tell you what chipset you have.
remember that raid does not replace backups :)
