Karl, LSI 9212-4i4e will be good.
You can flash it with the IT Firmware and there are no raid at all.

The StorageTek raid card seems to want to have it's drives initialized and volumes created on it before they are presented to zfs. I can't find a way of telling it just to be an HBA. I'd prefer to have the ability to move the sas/sata drives to another system and has the sas/sata controller read the drives without if there a problem with the card. Is it possible to disable the raid on an LSI 9212-4i4e and have the drives read by a simple sas/sata card? I'm open to other brands but I need internal and external ports.
