The card is a serial ata controller with what adaptec refers to as
"hostraid". (Meaning the raid is done in the driver.) There are binary
drivers for it on adptec's site, but no open source drivers. The binary
drivers are fairly good, but they are binary drivers. (Which brings the
headaches that binary drivers entail.)
