I used to have one of these in my workstation (mine was recognized as 4 SATA drives
of about 60GB). I had put these into a zfs pool with raidz1 and was able to boot from
the card without any issue. BIOS reported them as 4 individual drives. These are 
pre-NVME, so no NVME driver was necessary. Unfortunately, the card recently died of
old age, so I can't provide any more than historic references. The type was 
OCZSSDPX-1RVDX0240 . 

Cheers,
