It says it's a hardware RAID controller, but it only supports RAID 
levels 0, 1 and 10. That tells me it has no real ASIC and so far as I 
can see with google, it doesn't support caching or a BBU. So while it 
might be "hardware", I doubt it's "real" in the sense that it can do 
parity calcs, read/write reordering and write-back caching.
