Intel matrix storage manager support?

Tue Feb 15 13:23:14 UTC 2011

I was under the impression that the 'fakeraid' on, for example, Intel motherboards was not significantly faster than more traditional software RAID, so there was little reason to maintain drivers that would enable the use of 'fakeraid' in a non-Windows system... Has this changed? Are the on-board Intel 'fakeraid' solutions faster than pure software RAID solutions?

The Intel on-board RAID solutions always seemed designed more as marketing check-offs than an optimal solution to any particular storage issue, but I'll confess I haven't been following it that closely...
