Do you have it set up with a RAID? If not, and you want one, you have,
unfortunately, I think, Intel "fakeRAID" (yes, that's googleable, easily).
I was going to use it a couple of years ago, and after the aggro I had,
gave up, turned it off, and set up Linux's software RAID (md), and it
works *very* well. In fact, a couple months after I turned it up on one
user's servers, a disk failed. I had no trouble identifying the disk,
breaking the mirror, replacing it, and it rebuilt it nicely.
