You might be confused here.  PERC stands for "Power Edge RAID Controller"
which is the LSI RAID card.  It is supported via the mfi driver.  The
MPT driver supports the non-RAID SAS card.  Okay it can do some RAID
but really isn't a RAID card like the real RAID card.  I do have a
card that is the SAS controller but I haven't played with it much.
I did play with it a little to figure out a different problem and
now it sits on my desk.
