I am currently putting together specs for building a nas server based on centos and ZFSonLinux.
I have narrowed my motherboard choices down to these two Supermicro motherboards.
X10SL7-F
Two SATA3, Four SATA2 ports Intel chipset
Six SAS ports through LSI2308 chipset.
X10SLH-F
Six SATA3 ports through Intel chipset
This article makes it seems like the LSI2308 is something really good.

I wont be utilizing the chipset's raid abilities so i just need the chipset to present the drives to the OS for ZFS to handle.
I am leaning towards the X10SL7-F using six 2TB SAS drives. Will be more costly but in the long run it will be better right?
