I think CDW is mistaken in saying it's a PCI-E card, UIO is a 
proprietary Supermicro bus that some of their motherboards support.

Too bad, that's a good price for an 8-port SAS card.  I've got some 
LSI-branded PCI-X and PCI-E SAS cards that have been working very well 
with ZFS and SATA drives, but the 8-port card was more like $288.
