And that's completely reasonable and understandable. I had some old Highpoint controllers I tried on FreeNAS. I even did extensive testing and made a sticky for others that want to use them. But trying to do something like what you are doing is going to put you on an island by yourself with trying to figure out if they work, how well they work, and if there's a problem you're on your own to fix it. That last part is a killer because as you can see nobody has any feedback. If you check out my sticky on Highpoint controllers you'll see my comment that is something like 'Yes they work, yes they take some work to make them work, but you are crazy for using them for anything but an emergency situation".
