Hello, ...
If this is windows on motherboard raid, it's probably dmraid (otherwise known as Fake RAID or BIOS RAID) -- it's not really Fake, it's just the moniker dmraid ended up with from the hardware RAID snobs...
It is really fake, because it doesn't run in hardware: it runs in software, on the computer CPU, with read support on BIOS so that it can boot. Once booted it gets write code from the driver, running on the mainboard CPU, not on the raid chipset. A true hardware raid doesn't use the mainboard CPU, and is transparent to the operating system. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.1 (Legolas))
