Can someone tell me what controller to get please? I just got burned with a Supermicro controller that didn't support FreeBSD and thus wasn't supported on FreeNAS. It looks like there are a bunch of LSI JBOD controllers that will work, but I am seeing quite a bit of chatter out there about people having to get creative with firmware. Is there a "go to" JBOD controller that will drive 8 drives and just work? It's a custom build PC with 8 2Tb WD RED drives.
This card did NOT work:

How about this one?

I want to try and keep the purchase to around $100 if possible. I don't need the card to do RAID in any way, just JBOD.. Plan to do ZFS pool at the FreeNAS OS level.
