Yes. However, for many users, it does everything that they need
and want: basic RAID 0, 1, 5 (probably not recommended), & 10.
[ It's strange, considering that many "RAID users" are home users. I'm
constantly surprised by the number of hackers setting up "home RAID"
systems (using the "on-motherboard RAID controller", the Promise
controller, or something else like vinum or 3ware). ]
