What you get with that controller is software RAID in certain enviroments(Windows) More info here: http://www.siliconimage.com/products/sii0680.asp Someone had already raised this question, you can check the solution(one possible) here: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2003-November/005141.html Hope that helped :) Joćo Barros.
