Most don't have a battery backup (which means that if you suddenly lose power in addition to the possibility of your data getting screwed up by all the normal means, it can also end up incosistent because the fakeraid chipset messed it up). If your motherboard gets trashed, the disks can only be accessed on another identical fakeraid chipset (possibly even only on the same motherboard, depending on if the motherboard manufacturer has customized the fakeraid at all). Their performance is generally no better than the Linux software RAID. > I need a dual boot system (linux/win). > So, then create two partitions on each of your two disks. Install Linux across two of them using Linux software RAID and install windows across the other two using Windows software RAID. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.
