I am using a Norco 4224 case and a pair of Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 cards. Unfortunately, I didn't do my homework, and it looks like these cards aren't currently supported by FreeNAS. I have come across a few references to the Marvell 6480 drivers, which may be the correct ones for this card, but there are no specific references to this particular card and getting it to work with FreeBSD.
The long and short of it is that my drives and the controller cards are showing up in BIOS, but not in FreeNAS GUI, or in a look through /dev/. Is it worth trying to figure out some way to use these cards, or should I send them back and go with another make? Who else makes a $150 or less SAS controller for PCIe 4x?
dmesg | grep controller
(other controllers do show up, but they are all USB, or an onboard SATA controller)
Thanks!

dmesg | grep controller
Code:
