HP Gen8 MicroServer's RAID Controller problem.

Hi there,
I've bought a HP proliant Gen8 MicroServer these days.
And there is a B120i RAID controller with this device.
I have 4 * 2Tb hard drives inserted in bay 1-4, and created:
Logic Volume 1 RAID 0 with bay 1 disk
Logic Volume 2 RAID 0 with bay 2 disk
Logic Volume 3 RAID 1 with bay 3 & 4 disks

I've been told there is 3 Logic Volume with gen8's start up procedure.
But when I booted into archlinux,with command fdisk -l or lsblk, I saw 4 disks named: sda sdb sdc sdd

Is this normal? should it be:
sda - disk1
sdb - disk2
sdc - disk3 & disk4

If it's not a real HW-RAID controller but a BIOS/FakeRAID, you will see the disks in Linux. If you see the disks and only need it for Linux (no multi-boot Windows) you should consider sticking to Linux software RAID (mdadm).
