I have not used Promise, but from what I understand, the "driver" is basically part of the card. So when a disk write is performed, the hardware somehow causes the CPU to execute extra instructions which it provides to the CPU. These extra instructions do all the RAID implementation.
Wrong! All RAID code is in the driver, with a few rudimental functions in BIOS, mainly those for setting up the RAID arrays. Philipp
