I have a vmware esxi 5 running on a server with ssd and two hard drives. The server comes with software lsi megaraid and intel rapid storage raid. Neither of them work with esxi.
I need to somehow setup a fakeraid inside virtual machine to keep a copy data on each drive (raid0).
Is it possible to do so?

ESXi is not supporting fake raid. You need to create 2 VMFS and add 2 disk each on one of the data stores and setup software RAID on the guest OS. You will have redundancy for VM, but not for ESX itself.
