I have a standalone card with the HPT370 chipset doing RAID fine.
Or at least did until one of the drives died within an hour of using it.
This was drive failure, not the card though. Whilst it was working,
it seemed to be working fine. :)

The packaging / manual for this card suggests that its hardware based.
If it isn't, it's extremely misleading.
