although not the freshest, this site always turned out to be helpful
getting infos for SATA "raid" cards (the "fake check"):
http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html
In the according document,
http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sas.html
nothing is stated about a fake SAS card (but indeed about linux
compatibility). Maybe in this league, cheating customers is not so
common. Does anybody know a SAS/SCSI raid card which does hidden
software raid instead of hardware?

Sebastian
