Not. Just see   http://linux-ata.org/faq-sata-raid.html

How does work?

In adapter's bios you can setup in  raid configaration. Raid 1 or Raid0.
Adapter hasn't any processor. Jusy bios&sata conroller chips.
In result bios will write some meta data to the disks about raid
configuration.
when you OS boots, it's see the metadata and and OS driver begin work as
wrote in metadata using usual sata connamd directly to both disks.
