No it is not. You have the ability to manage fault tolerance on W2K & .NET servers but locally, you cannot create software raid 1 (mirroring) or 5.

Yes, it is a bit of a bummer considering the "PRO" moniker - hardware raid is your only option.

NOTE: Do not try to use the old FTDISK.SYS driver workaround from NT. I have heard that it will not work and may crash your machine.
