Not all of the disks in the array are on the 3ware card - I have two SATA
ports on my motherboard (ICH5) which work perfectly well.
The 3ware card is there for two MORE channels, so I have a means to do "hot"
backups. This is a much better solution than tapes with larger disks, as
its both faster and leaves you with a bootable volume when you're done.
