linux currently understands several forms of software raid 1) "native" raid, as in "md" 2) Promise software raid0 3) Highpoint software raid0 Promise Fasttrack raid IS software raid. Everything is done in software on the host CPU. Be it in the pdcraid driver or in the binary only driver you can download from promise. Hardware raid means all (or most) of the work is done on a cpu or other hardware on the card, which isn't the case for promise or highpoint raid.
