    I would only call something an "external RAID tower" which has the
    drives _and_ the controller. So such a device is transparent to the host
    where it will be connected to. With other words, Linux will see just a
    single storage device, not md0 (as it is no software RAID) but sda for
    instance.
    How to configure such an external storage device depends on the device.
    You will have to consult the manual. Probably the BIOS allows you to
    arrange the drives into the RAID arrays you want to have.
