When they say that your mobo supports raid, they mean that a raid controller is builtin. So no need for an external controller unless you run out of ide ports.

For more info on raid, storagereview.com has a great article.

Read a bit more about software & hardware raid. Genrally (until its a scsi) all raid solution on motherbords are software raids. You donot get that great a performance jump from them.
