I don't know about the Highpoint (my 1820a is used as a jbod controller only -- the only one I could find that was low profile :-) but some better RAID controllers do the mirroring in HW as well -- no software drives the RAID functions. My adaptec 2100S 2200S 2410A all do it this way, which I greatly prefer. I like the "complexity" of the RAID completely hidden from the OS.
