Interestingly:

1. This card uses "Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE9230 PCIe SATA 6Gb/s Controller (rev 11)" controller (in accordance with "lspci")
2. The tool from Marvell (google "marvell technology group ltd. 88se9230 read SMART" and see the stackexchange result) is able to read at least some minimal data (hardly useful at all, to be honest):

Thanks for your message and information.

Yes, I'm afraid this is "normal".
The DELLBOSS (generally Marvell 9230 RAID) is completely supported by the Windows version of Hard Disk Sentinel, but not under Linux.
Sorry, but the Linux version has limited RAID support compared to the Windows version.

OK. Thanks for explaining this!
