I'm not sure about that particular card, but we've never seen that

Dell servers as the PERC. The newest incarnations are better, but I
would try to get an Areca. The ones we have tested have displayed
fantastic
performance. They are fairly expensive in comparison, though. If
you're using ZFS in place of the RAID on the LSI MegaRAID, I'd
instead recommend other simpler SAS cards which are known to have
good driver support.
Why even bother with the LSI card at all?
That board already has 6 SATA slots - depends how many disks you want to
use of course. (5 HDs + 1 DVD drive?)
Plus two SATA drives in a gmirror for the base OS, and one optical. I
want a minimum of 8 slots.
