SAS card suggestions?

Guys any suggestions for SAS card, I was looking at this & this. I was going to use one of these, and perhaps another in the future, also would it have any issues for Debian environment?

Thanks!

While the first one would work, the second one (the Supermicro card) is not going to work at all because it is "based on the Marvell 9480 host controller".
Here is what I would suggest:

Mostly because it is PCIe 3.0

Nice card, good price, and based on sellers descriptions it’s plug and play for FreeNAS :)

I apologize, I am still a little new to these forums, thank you for moving this.
