dmraid (fake raid) is used when a motherboard has an inexpensive
controller that uses the CPU and software to emulate a 'real' hardware
raid disk controller.   It has a somewhat bad reputation (I have no
personal experience).    I don't know of a good reason to use it,
unless you are dual booting with a Windows box and want to use the
same array for both.
