Yes, windows pro series can do this in software. The best solution for that currently is the SPM-394 from span.com. It's a SATA/SAS interface that plugs into the HDD connector on the motherboard. It beats all the software based cards because it's not driver based so the OS doesn't even see it. That means you can reload an Acronis or Macrium image to an array without having to make a special boot disk.
