#FreeBSD brain trust!

What's your go-to budget RAID controller card for JBOD'ing a bunch of #OpenZFS drives at home?

Clara's and my homelab/plex/bhyve/Minecraft server is running out of space, and we have no SATA ports left.

(Update: I meant HBA, not RAID. I just want something that exposes Just a Bunch Of Drives).

Rubenerd: I wanted an HBA for FreeBSD, not a RAID JBOD

JBOD on RAID doesn't make sense. I really wanted a general HBA.

@rubenerd an LSI HBA flashed into IT mode https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_nkw=lsi+hba+&_trksid=p4432023.m4084.l1313

From memory the 9211 models are the cheapest. The TrueNAS hardware guide has more details. Good luck 😄
