Just to follow this up, I got in contact with Areca support, who sent me their new v1.00.00.02 (2012-03-23) arcsas driver and CLI tool, which is now available on their website: http://www.areca.com.tw/support/s_freebsd/nonraid_freebsd.htm The API download has also been updated (dated 2012-03-14) to include separate SAS HBA support, and stuff built against it works correctly for me. As a result I now have management visibility (and ability to toggle drive identification) via the ARC-1320 cards. -- Sorry for the below disclaimer...
