No experience with the RLT8110S, but the two Realtek RT8139 in my
machine work OK.

I've got RAID1 working with this chip:

atapci0 at pci0:15:0:      class=0x010400 card=0x80ed1043 chip=0x31491106 rev=0x80 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'VIA Technologies Inc'
    device     = 'VT8237  VT6410 SATA RAID Controller'
    class      = mass storage
    subclass   = RAID

HTH,
	Roland
