On my Areca controller (which is a true hardware RAID controller), i can create pass through disk or JBOD; if i create 8 of those, i do not get ad4 or ad6, but i get da0, da1 ... da7. Thus; it's still wrapped to the controller. I also cannot directly access the disk for SMART etc.; those are the characteristics of true hardware RAID. Unless anyone can prove otherwise, ofcourse. - v
