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
