It's likely you can make the SATA drives work with Fedora, I just
can't say from personal experience.  The md driver is a software
raid implementation.  check out mdadm (the setup command) man pages
for more info.  I'm using three different flavors on the last
server I built, raid0 for speed /tmp type space, raid5 for speed
and security, and a triple-copy raid1 for really important stuff.

What sort of chipset is your SATA controller interface?  Intel
ICH6R?
