Hardware requirements for Raid setup...more info

Thanks for the reply, Neil...but I don't have any of the features you
specified...

This is a chopped-down copy of my rack config...am I missing something?  As
I said, I thought that Raid5 capability was just sort of built-in, now my
hardware supplier tells me that I need a rather expensive raid
controller...same feature numbers you specified...
