75.Pp
76These controllers support RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10, RAID 50 and
77RAID 60 using either SAS or SATA II drives.
78.Pp
79Although the controllers are actual RAID controllers,
80the driver makes them look just like SCSI controllers.
81All RAID configuration is done through the controllers' BIOSes.
