Hello,
i know this question has come up many times, but it's still a bit confusing to deploy ZFS with HW RAID controller. We are considering an x4170-m2 with 8 internal SAS drives, but we are not sure if we should purchase with or w/o RAID controller. Most in the industry are still promoting HW RAID controllers and they still offer great performance, etc., and it doesn't make much sense to place a HW RAID controller in JBOD mode if you can order a server without a controller. So, is there a way to get the performance benefits from HW Raid
