I currently have a highpoint 2220 controller. I got it because of
the Freebsd support what appeared to be available driver source
code only to be humilitated to discover after the fact that what's
labeled source is a "blob" module, and not source at all.
Areca is a name I never heard before this list. They appartly
support bsd but, what level of support? Binary Driver, blob,
source, or docs?
They appear to have a source driver.
/usr/src/sys/dev/arcmsr
/usr/src/sys/dev/arcmsr/arcmsr.c
/usr/src/sys/dev/arcmsr/arcmsr.h
arcmsr is the driver name for areca (man arcmsr)
top of the .c file reads:

I have several Areca cards because they support both BSD and Solaris
with their drivers and I run both and want my HW to be as versatile
as possible... Have not actually run one in BSD yet though that will
happen. I have several but none are yet in production, just
testing. They do do quite well in reviews and bake-offs against
other raid cards.
