Did you install your current OS with the SATA ports set as RAID mode?

One big advantage to using Windows-based RAID: in theory you can move the drives to any other machine and have the RAID array work, since it's not depending upon specific RAID hardware.
The downside is, it's probably slower and will certainly have more CPU impact. Of course, as fast as CPUs are today, you probably won't notice the difference outside of synthetic benchmarks.
What will you be using the machine for? In my opinion, unless you're doing a lot of realtime video editing, I'm not sure if RAID 1 makes much sense anymore. I think it's more hassle than its worth for most home users. I'd much rather have my OS running off a SSD - that's a huge performance and usability boost.
YMMV...
