Hardware RAID or Software RAID?
 

I have the x58 motherboard, with ICH10 chipset. When I tried doing a RAID 0 using the hardware, my old 10.5.6 install DVD could not detect the array and showed up as 2 separate disks.

Snow, on the other hand, has integrated support for my chipset, (no kexts required), So I want to ask, If i created a hardware raid, would I be able to use it with Snow if I install snow leopard on from another HDD?

(OSX86 HDD)--(install within Snow)---> (Raid 0 [2x 1tb HDD's])

I'm just asking because I know the 10.5.6 DVD didn't have support for my ICH10 so it wasn't maybe detecting it, but If i do Hardware RAID now, will Snow detect it and let me use it?

(If all fails, I will just use Software)

I havent checked but as Apple never supported Intel BIOS RAID or any other motherboard RAID I assume Snow Leopard hasnt changed that. Having built-in support for ICH10 in IDE or AHCI mode doesnt mean it supports RAID mode.
