They do but nothing I can find in there tells me if it is real hardware

are comaptable with Linux but they do not clearly specify if it is fake

or true hardware Raid. AFAIK the Adaptec cards are all fake Raid. and
some of
ServeRaid cards were also based on the Adaptec chipset and hence Fake Raid.
My IBM x3500 machines have this card:

03:00.0 RAID bus controller: Adaptec AAC-RAID (Rocket) (rev 02)

I'm not quite sure if this also has an IBM serveraid name.
I don't think it is fakeraid; setting up raid devices can take
place at bios level, the buildup of the RAID5 or RAID6 volumes
can run without any drivers loaded.
If this is fakeraid I would like a clear definition of the term
fakeraid.
