You're probably talking about Supermicro's "UIO" card, which is a PCI-E card with the bracket mounted backwards. The normal non-reversed version of that is the LSI SAS 3081E-R and 3041E-R. There's two sets of firmware, one that does really minimalist RAID, and one that's just a straight-up host adapter. Either way, it uses the mpt driver. I remember the 3081E-R was once right around $200 but I can't find it that cheap anymore, maybe because the 6Gbit LSI 9211 line came out to replace it... which IS still under $300 but I don't know if FreeBSD supports it.
