I doubt an exhaustive list of USB wazzits, frobdars, & dimsum will ever be written even for Winders or Linus, let alone FBSD. Seeing as how the RAID controller, whether hard or soft, is going to be behind a USB adapter, I doubt it's going to be visible as anything but a pass(4) & a da(4), though I doubt any bundled "RAID management software" for that device does much more than check for grotty platters & forcibly sync the drives (even to their detriment) if even that. Also, does it have a battery to run on if it needs to finish syncing after it's been unplugged? --=20 --
