| Nvidia MediaShield is the windows software, as far as I can tell, it wont show you the second drive but it claims to use a "visual alert system" to let you know when you have trouble with your array. Quote:
The benefits of the NVIDIA MediaShield Storage suite include:
* Now with RAID 5 offering smart data protection and optimal data access: Users now have the peace of mind to store their personal pictures, music, videos, and other important documents on their PC without having to worry about losing the data. RAID 5 offers fault tolerant capability to automatically back up your most important files, while also providing faster disk access and additional storage capacity.
* Intelligent Disk Alert System simplifies troubleshooting: Provides the user an easy way to identify the failing SATA drive through a visual "alert system".
* Dual-Controller architecture delivers unmatched scalability and performance: Exploits the dedicated storage controller in NVIDIA nForce MCPs so that as SATA devices are added to RAID 0 or RAID 0+1 array your storage performance increases.
* NVIDIA is leading the market with top SATA 3Gb/s disk drive manufacturers: SATA 3Gb/s doubles bus bandwidth and improves disk performance for blazingly fast disk performance.2
