I do not know if DPT make ATA versions, but their SCSI cards used to do nice
RAID arrays invisible to the op system.

Also be aware that win NT/2k/XP all have raid built into them. Unfortunately
the workstation/pro version does not do mirror drives but allows striping
which always seemed a backwards way of looking at it. The server versions
allow all useful RAID modes.
