      So .. the hardware card isn't doing real hardware RAID?

      Correct, it is FakeRAID. The card exists for no purpose but to trick you into paying for nothing. It's literally just really bad software RAID. Better to use the OS' software RAID which is faster, more reliable and more flexible and isn't sold to you on a con.

      Intel is famous for this and a leading reason why I would never be caught dead buying Intel servers or storage - they treat their customers like enemies actively scamming them.

        Intel is far from the only FakeRAID vendor, nearly every motherboard maker offers consumer FakeRAID. Intel is just the most aggressive with actually making fake cards and trying to sell into the business market.

              Hidden-ish.

              It was like a puzzle finding it. Fun, thanks! LOL.

                But if the "software raid" of the card can detect drive failures and stuff ... isn't that better than the OS RAID, say, of Windows?

                  Why would that make it better? Just because it can do "as much" doesn't make it better. It has caveats, but what upsides?

                      Not really any difference.

                            At the highest level, the i7 is the top of Intel's desktop line. The Core i line is the i3 at the entry level, i5 in the middle and i7 at the top end. The Xeon is the server processor line, so while related it is listed differently. Xeons have been around eons longer than the Core i naming convention. Xeons come with more cache, cores and features and can be used in multi-processor configurations. At the low end an i7 and a Xeon would be close, at the high end Xeons get pretty crazy.
