Does anyone know if a PERC H200 is a real RAID controller? I'm about to build a box to CentOS 6.5 (it was Windows...) with RAID 6 on Monday, and this PE R610 has this.... I'm familiar with PERC 6 and 7s, but just dunno 'bout this one.

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.
