If its got built in raid controller hopefully it should all auto detect in a new bios. I would personally go out and assume that everything built in would allow it to be detected by a regular bios board. And of course once the raid is detected via pci-e it of course should tell your computer that it has a bootable/active hd available as well.

I dont think too many people can speak on ssd from experience as I know I cant, but maybe you will get lucky and someone can share some experience. I would just buy it from some place locally so that in the worst case it just stares at you on boot, you can return it.
