SuSE 9.0 and S-ATA RAID

Hello all, While I'm considering updating from 8.2 to 9.0, I am wondering if a S-ATA RAID configuration is supported, either as software RAID or through chipsets found on motherboards. Does anyone have any experience with this? I need to get me a new set of harddisks, and I'm wondering if it's worth getting the S-ATA ones. Regards, Pieter Hulshoff
