Often some BIOSes detect the geometry of the drives differently if they are split between primary and secondary controllers.
Having paired drives on a single controller is fine, the interface is faster than the drives anyway, and the geometry problem hardly ever occurs...
Software RAID on Linux works extremely well, unlike software RAID M$ Windoze...which hogs resources...
