jbod controller for dell r720 and freenas
Hi everyone!
I want to use a Dell R 720, which has the origional SAS 8 drive controller, for a freenas san.
As I've learned from numerous sites, the drives need to be in JBOD mode, which the factory controller does not support. Although some have set it up as raid0 individual drives which I'd rather not do.
So my question is, does anyone have any experience with this controller and will it work with this server or recommend another HBA adapter.

I'm looking for controller advise for a HBA controller for this server.
Thanks!
