I'm migrating away from my RAID6 array, which I have currently running on a Areca 1883ix-24 with miniSAS cables going out to a NORCO 4220 with backplane version SAS 3505 version 3.5.
This is a passive backplane, not a SAS multiplier.
What recommendations would you all recommend for a SAS controller to control 24 SAS3 10tb drives. These days I don't need RAID anymore (or want it, since it messes with ZFS, unraid, etc).
I am also reasonably open to two controllers if necessary, but no more.
I understand that my Areca can be put in JBOD mode, but i hear that even in JBOD mode it breaks ZFS
