……………………. A. You may only stripe ATA disks that are connected to ATA PCI bus cards. You CANNOT stripe ATA disks that are connected to built-in ATA busses. The reason for this is, HDST only allows for the striping of SCSI devices. Drives connected to ATA PCI card busses actually pretend to be SCSI devices (not ATA) which allows the HDST RAID driver to talk to these devices as if they were true SCSI.
