Doesn't seem to be a "RAID Controller" at all, but more of a SATA/eSATA expansion card.
If it can even do RAID, I wouldn't count on anything other than RAID 0/1/10/0+1, nothing complex like RAID5, and even so, I wouldn't rely on it because the XOR calculations would be offloaded to the processor, as well as Rosewill's build quality (which leaves something to be desired), wouldn't make me feel comfortable putting any kind of valuable data on it at all.
