Is its RAID controller supported > (assuming that's the chipset that handles RAID)? The Chipset can operate in 3 Modes: IDE, AHCI and RAID. Depending on the mode it has different PCI-IDs. It is said to support (driver-)raid, but I don't use it. When set to AHCI-Mode, the pci-id is 0x3b22. I use AHCI and it is supported by ahci in FreeBSD. > In case the RAID controller should result unsupported, would that mean that I can't even use the disk controller > at all? if it is not supported, you simply can't use it.
