SuperMicro AOC-USAS2-L8i

PCIe controller with 2 multi-lane connectors (SFF-1087) supporting 8
SAS/SATA ports.  Supports two firmwares:
  IR mode enables RAID0, RAID1, RAID10 and a couple of other modes (no
RAID5+)
  IT mode enables straight HBA mode

Supported by the mps(4) driver in FreeBSD 9-CURRENT, and I believe has been
MFC'd into 8.2-STABLE.

Sure, it's 8-ports, but for under $300 CDN, you really can't do much better.
