The trouble with adaptec RAID cards is that they just don't work....

and adaptec are less than useless at providing drivers or support...

I have a six port adaptec SATA RAID card which I got with an HP server, 
in the end I ditched it and went software RAID because the Adaptec card 
drivers just didn't work....

Additionally, CIFS is not a disk filing system, (as I believe has been 
said already) so I am not sure what 3WARE are getting at here,

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_systems

Following th CIFS link takes you straight to SMB as you might expect.....
