The advantage of FakeRAID is that you get to depend on a Windows-only |
| 9 |
driver that only works with your motherboard and will prevent the RAID |
| 10 |
working if the motherboard files and you try to connect the drives to a |
| 11 |
different system. For some reason,this gives Windows users a warm, fuzzy |
| 12 |
feeling. |
