dmesg provided below.
The SATA RAID controller, although it provides a 'legacy' option
which should expose the RAID as an ordinary device, doesn't work
despite the fact that both disk drives' LEDs flash when RAID 1 is
enabled ;-( The RAID isn't supported by almost any operating system.
We're using these boxes in combination with the relatively low cost
3ware 8006-2LP SATA raid card:

and they work really nicely with FreeBSD and Linux.
