you need Striping (RAID 0), Mirroring (RAID 1), or both (RAID 0+1), this card has you covered.
The PCISATA4R1 also supports RAID 1+S (Mirrored-Sparing), which automatically replaces a failed
hard drive and rebuilds the system if a booting hard drive fails.
It also includes a low prole bracket for adapting to slimline or small form factor system applications.
