2006 Mac Pro internal RAID questions...

I've been googling a lot and am finding conflicting information about this subject. Can a 2006 Mac Pro do a mirrored RAID of two striped RAIDs internally without the RAID card? I know it can do one or the other, just not sure if it can do both. Some sites say yes, some say no.

Thanks!

This can be done with Disk Utility under Leopard or later as a software RAID. (For anyone lurking, to do what Turboladdade wants, two pairs of drives are first striped and the resulting RAID volumes are then mirrored.) I don't recall anymore whether that was available in Tiger.
