The article goes into how Fake RAID forces the drives to operate in a sub-standard way (by virtue of how the BIOS is used to access the drives), which is not the same as software RAID, which is standard drive access with an OS access layer thrown on top. He isn't very flattering towards software RAID-5 though. -- - Kevan Benson - A-1 Networks
