The RAID cards that I am using now don't require any host OS driver. You
configure it by hitting F3 during the boot process, and managing that

I forget the exact model number, but these are 3Ware SATA RAID cards.

Back to the main issue.
Why use hardware RAID at all if you decide to go with
ZFS? Why not JBOD? Cheaper and more reliable (No RAID
controller as a single point of failure for hardware
RAID.)
Except isnt that the issue, IF its not a single point of failure, and IF its not
as much of a hack as mentioned then thats why you use RAID???
JOBD is fine, but its not great, I dont have ZFS experience but I do have RAID
and JOBD experience Ill take a good RAID card any day.
