       The hpt27xx driver provides support for HighPoint's RocketRAID 27xx based RAID controller.

       These  devices  support  SAS  disk  drives  and  provide  RAID0  (striping), RAID1 (mirroring), and RAID5
       functionality.

       The hpt27xx driver supports the following SAS controllers:

       •   HighPoint's RocketRAID 271x series
       •   HighPoint's RocketRAID 272x series
       •   HighPoint's RocketRAID 274x series
       •   HighPoint's RocketRAID 276x series
       •   HighPoint's RocketRAID 278x series

       The hpt27xx device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 10.0.

       The hpt27xx driver only works on the i386 and amd64 platforms as it requires a binary  blob  object  from
       the  manufacturer  which  they only supply for these platforms.  The hpt27xx driver does not work on i386
       with pae(4) enabled.
