Raid Hardware Question..



Hi All & thanks in advance...

 I was wondering if some of the off the shelf Raid cards that you can
get at Microcenter are able to support multible raids at once.

IE.
  the card i looked at allows for 4 connections (ribbons) per card and
two drives per connection (to drives per ribbon). So it can manage 8
drives. I understand I can have 8 drives in raid 0,1 or 5, but can I
make 2 of those drives raid 1 & then use the remainder of the drives for
raide 5 or does one raid card only cable of 1 type of raid at a time
(0,1 or 5)...

I hope the qestion made sense and as always thanks in advance..
