SCSI raid works. I run it everywhere. EIDE >raid is another matter when talking about performace. My dual is running >software raid0 and it is faster than non-raid, and as good performance-wise as >hardware raid excepting it increases interrupt traffic since hardware raid >generates one interrupt per transfer while software raid generates N.

It offers direct support for 2 SATA devices plus extended support for an additional 2 SATA devices. VT8237 uses a software controlled RAID set-up. Bob, there are ATA and SATA in the benchtests. http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=291#SATA kburcham
