Yes, but the Linux mvsas driver is (still) total crap (to use Linus'
favorite word). Google mvsas and read the horror stories, or simply
search the linux-scsi and linux-raid mailing lists. I'd steer way clear
of any Marvell SAS based cards, especially if doing mdraid.
The Marvell SATA based cards seem to be ok however, and use a different
driver, mv_sata.
