76These controllers support RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, JBOD,
77and superpositions of those configurations.
78.Pp
79Although the controllers are actual RAID controllers,
80the
81.Nm
82driver makes them look just like SCSI controllers.
83All RAID configuration must be done through the controllers' BIOSes.
84.Pp
85Hardware from previous generations of this product family may be
86supported by the
87.Xr cac 4
88driver.
