If you do that, you still have vendor lock and all the rest of the
problems. Why not just sell/trade your 1 raid card for 2 or 3 HBAs? If
that's an 8 port one, it's something like $480 and an HBA is only around
$230 (9211-8i). If you plan on permanently using this machine for pure
ZFS, this is the best option.
