You will have to connect your drive to the RAID channel to configure it as RAID. The Highpoint Controller can be accessed by pressing Ctrl+H and you can select the transfer mode for your hard disk.
ATA100 refers to your hard disk logical transfer rate and UDMA is the latest hard disk technology that can use Direct Memory Access to transfer your data.
ATA100=100MB per sec logically.

If you are planning to do RAID0(stripping), it is the fastest but you will loe data if one hard disk fails.
RAID1(mirroring), not as fast but you have the feature of data being backup into the second harddisk. If one fails, you can still boot with the second harddisk.
