Its probably Fake Raid relying on a "driver to DRIVE the raid' effectivley software raid.. I got caught myself thinking that Adaptec embedded raid was "hardware Raid... there are quite a few posts in the ProxMox forums to guide you to software raid... http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/2655-Software-RAID10-setup-scripts  and http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/  http://www.howtoforge.com/software-raid1-grub-boot-debian-etch  I just completed my main server transfer this am from SME with 1.0 TB data to Proxmox VM   affa took about 3hrs to do the final check but worked perfectly... I had installed a newer version of Zarafa on the new server all worked no problems... I would stick with ProxMox because I see benefits of Hardware dependancy and think that ProxMox will support Software Raid in future releases. I'm still trying to get full understanding of Software Raid then LVM and Grub so that my new server will run ok with software Raid 10 and be ok with new releases of ProxMox Cheers

After some further trials and a revisit to Vmware.. Wow the Vmware hyper-visor has a polish lacking in ProxMox and because the Hardware Intel Raid card I got was not detected by Proxmox! 

SO going back to Vmware the new http://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere-hypervisor/index.html  IS very nice. with everything detected and smooth as butter.
