+.Nm hptrr
+.Nd "HighPoint RocketRAID device driver"
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel,
+place the following line in your
+kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device hptrr"
+.Cd "device scbus"
+.Cd "device da"
+.Ed

+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for HighPoint's RocketRAID based RAID controllers.
+.Pp
+These devices support SATA/ATA disk drives
+and provide RAID0 (striping), RAID1 (mirroring), and RAID5 functionality.
+.Sh HARDWARE
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following RAID
+controllers:
+.Pp
+.Bl -bullet -compact

+.Sh NOTES
+The
+.Nm
+driver only works on the i386 and amd64 platforms as it requires a binary
+blob object from the manufacturer which they only supply for these platforms.
+The
+.Nm
+driver does
+.Em not
+work on i386 with
+.Xr pae 4
+enabled.
+.Pp
+This driver does not support the RR182x series controller.
+See the
+.Xr hptmv 4
+manual page for details on support.

+.Nm
+device driver first appeared in
+.Fx 5.3 .
+.Sh AUTHORS
+.An -nosplit
+The
+.Nm
+device driver was written by
+.An HighPoint Technologies, Inc. ,
+and ported to
+.Fx
+by
