It totally depends on what information your RAID card provides to the
operating system. Some cards provide little, if any information; others
provide stacks of info.
It's also probable that any check you use would be specific to the
brand/model of card that you've got, as it would likely just be a
wrapper around a binary for managing the card (as is the case with
'tw_cli' and the check_3ware plugin).
