Cant find my harddrives in ubuntu installation?

I've bought a N54L and fitted two 3GB drives. Keen to get set up with RAID1.
BIOS: SATA controller mode set to "RAID"
RAID Option ROM utility: both physical drives set up as one logical drive
When I came to install Ubuntu (14.04.1), both drives appeared during the setup process. I was only expecting to see the logical drive, although I'm a complete novice with RAID.
I've read that the HP Proliant Microservers don't have "proper" RAID support, and require some kind of driver to be installed. I've tried a few HP utilities from the following apt repo:
deb http://downloads.linux.hp.com/SDR/repo/mcp wheezy/current non-free
On installation, most say "server not supported"
Would appreciate your advice.
