I received a Teratrend 2-port SATA-III Marvell 88SE9130 RAID card card from Jacob Hiltz (see #16), and here is the controller chip's overview from Marvell:

The Marvell® 88SE9130 host controller offer cost-effective solution of connecting Serial ATA (SATA) to a PCI Express (PCIe) 2.0 host. This host controller supports two 6 Gb/s SATA peripheral interface ports and a one-lane 5.0 Gb/s PCIe host interface. In addition, it features hardware RAID to offload host CPU, Marvell proprietary HyperDuo technology for automated SSD/HHD tiering, and AHCI interface for inbox driver support. A complete suite of RAID 0/1 and HyperDuo software is provided, including the OS device driver, BIOS/FW, and a management utility.

And a nice fancy picture:

It seems there is kernel support since ca 2013, according to this answer on the Unix SE.

To use hardware RAID modes a CLI on LINUX is a big benefit. This applies to all card with a chipset providing RAID. Could you perhaps test this feature and post the details here?
