even when its enabled, the raid functionaliy of the ICH??R chips is
zero. :) "enabling RAID" in the BIOS simply sets a bit in the chip
thats write-once (once its set, it can't be reset short of a full chip
reset), this does two things.
A) it changes the PCI DEVICE_ID of the chip so it requires different
drivers,
B) it tells the BIOS and drivers that they should implement Intel
Matrix aka fake raid rather than standard SATA JBOD.
thats *ALL* it does in hardware. nada else.
