Dell 12G HBA card asa-80165h

I got one of this asa-80165/DELL DPN: 0423G7 from a friend.
This rare occasion that when google it, google just gives me a bunch of ebay and e-tailer link.

I am wondering whether someone here has any info about it? Does it work with Truenas?

Thanks

It's a Dell branded Adaptec 80165 RAID controller.

Does it work with Truenas?

What's all the noise about HBAs, and why can't I use a RAID controller?

1) An HBA is a Host Bus Adapter. This is a controller that allows SAS and SATA devices to be attached to, and communicate directly with, a server. RAID controllers typically aggregate several disks into a Virtual Disk abstraction of some sort...
