DSM uses software raid so my understanding is that its generally better to have any mobo or add on controllers set to jbod/it/non-raid and let DSM do the rest. I've never done this myself, but if you have a hardware raid controller and create an array then I think DSM would see a single 'large disk' , which might be limited in capacity. Also, I'm not sure if XPE has 'raid hardware drivers' as opposed to 'chipset drivers' so if you create a hardware raid, you might not see any disks in DSM. Non-hardware raid also means its easier to move drives between hardware.
