I did a bit of searching but did not find anything useful. Is there any monitoring software right now that will give me the SMART status of each drive in an RAID5 that based on a mobo controller (Nvidia RAID)?
 
I'm not going to be a lot of help here - I've got a 780i board. That said, this is what I got from support:

For this motherboard Nvidia has stopped support for the SMART option through BIOS the only other option to use that is to run VISTA and from there you will let windows install the default drivers for this to enable any support for SMART features. EVGA Tech Support


I used the Windows drivers rather than NVidia, and it kept the SMART reporting. (XP-64) I still need to run some benchmarks to compare the bog standard drivers with the NVidia ones.... but short version, on my board, no SMART support for built in RAID. Looking at some other options now for my box. Worth checking to see if your board has the same issue.
