What defines a RAID card then? According to the description it says it 
has a RAID controller and supports RAID0 and RAID1.

Yeah I'm comfortable with recompiling the kernel. It's not a problem.

By PATA do you mean ATA133 and such? If so then the reason I'm looking 
at going for an SATA drive is because it's supposed to be taking over. 
My motherboard doesn't have support for SATA so I'm kind of future 
proofing myself by getting an SATA drive.
