This device performs hardware RAID (from BIOS) or software RAID (from Operating System dependent)?

During the PC boot-up, you will be given the option to press F4 to Boot from the card. If you do nothing then the PC will boot from the Default PC hard drive. I used this to connect external drives for backup. It works well.

Does it support windows 8 pro?

I am not the manufacturer, but I did visit the StarTech for this particular controller and found this: The controller supports Windows® 8 / 8.1 (32/64bit), 7 (32/64), Vista (32/64), XP (32/64), 2000 Windows Server® 2012, 2008 R2, 2003 and Linux.

Is this card compatible with my motherboard? My motherboard is an HP Envy 700 Intel KAILI Motherboard 698749-001 MS-7826 WIN8 Std Pro Please advise.

This card should work on any Intel processor board with a PCI CARD SLOT.
