3ware cards do not work (as previously specified). Even in
linux/windows, they're pretty flaky -- if you had Solaris drivers, you'd
probably shoot yourself in a month anyway.
I'm using the SuperMicro aoc-sat2-mv8 at the recommendation of someone
else on this list. It's a JBOD card, which is perfect for ZFS. Also,
you won't be paying for RAID functionality that you're wanting to
disable anyway.
