Checking out Supermicro's new X11 Motherboards today, found the below board with the Broadcom 3008 chip on it. Specifications point to that it can do RAID 0,1,10, but don't specify anything about HBA/pass-through. Since it supports the RAID options it seems it's the IR, and not IT version of the chip. I'd be interested in connecting drives for use with ZFS and don't want to get stuck with a SAS chip that won't let me pass the drives through to the OS without hardware RAID. Does anybody have experience with this HBA/RAID card?
