Alright, parts I already have:
CASE: U-NAS NSC-800
MOBO: Supermicro MBD-A1SRi-2758F-O (C2758 8-CoreCPU)
RAM: (2) 8GB ECC (Kingston KVR16LSE11/8KF)
PSU: SeaSonic SS-350M1U or FSP400-70LQ (I have both to try, will decide which I like more)
SAS: SuperMicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8
So, by being a stubborn idiot, I bought this tiny case, and will deal with its airflow issues. I found the Delta 50x50x10 fan Supermicro uses when they sell this board to people in their fully built systems from Digikey. That should help the CPU not set itself on fire. I also have learned there is not much airflow up by the PCI slot area, and I have some ideas for that as well. I am pretty clever, we'll see if I can make it work.
My actual problem, is this HBA is something from my old Windows server that I was really hoping to use. Being supermicro, I figured, it has to be good! According to the mfg it is based on the Marvell 9480 host controller. Searching threads on here I get: "well it might work, but good luck" and other various anecdotal scary shit. The thing is, in its BIOS menu are settings for staggered spinup, and it was awesome on my windows box as a JBOD.
But, I would like to use RaidZ2 and FreeNAS for this new setup. Its not worth me being a guinea pig with my data for this card. I am seeing everyone on here uses this LSI card, M1015 variant. OK fine. On ebay they are like 99$. But I need to know if you can do forced Staggered Spin up with that setup because I am limited in total amps due to FlexATX PSU limitations.
As long as I can distribute the spinup amp load using an M1015, then I think I am OK. Can anyone confirm/deny that for me?
I am looking at this card:

The added bonus is the side exit for the cables makes room for a cooling solution up top!
Thank you.
