Dual Onboard RAID Controllers

Whether you’re running in a Windows or Linux environment, there is a

RAID controller onboard that will support your server deployment. For

RAID levels 0,1, and 5 in a Windows environment, the included Intel

Matrix Storage controller is currently the best onboard RAID controller

available. For those in a Linux environment, the LSI Logic onboard RAID

controller offer RAID levels of 0,1, and 10.

It sounds like you may want to be using the LSI logic RAID controller instead of the Intel. The LSI lacks RAID5 (which the Intel Matrix offers) but it sounds like you aren't trying to use RAID 5 anyway.
