Good morning guys , i am installing CentOS 7 to a system x3650 M4 128 GB of ram , and 8 TB of space , i am doing that because freenas have problem with a hardware RAID , anyway , i would love to use freenas anyway , so i would like to know if this task is impossible , if so , i will keep on CentOS 7 , thanks in advance for any response .

You'll need a IBM M1015 cross flashed to IT mode in order to use an X3650 with FreeNAS.

What other cards are available in the tropical land that you can get your hands on? Maybe there is one that the folks here would support using...

Take a look at https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?resources/hardware-recommendations-guide.12/ under the session for Additional SATA/SAS connectivity for some ideas, including couple that won't need to be re-flashed.

As long as you follow what's recommended, I'd say ZFS is a safe environment.
