Well, hey, consumer! :-)

哈哈，真的很好运阿!

I did have issues, the usual failing disks and stuff, but there's been 
no datalose, and nothing unexpected, I've done firmware upgrades on 
cards and disks with relative ease, so I'm good.

As supported in the Solaris world for a prosumer use, I'd say the LSI 
SAS2 devices are amongst the best ROI those days. And seriously, if you 
plan to connect 8 drives there, the cost of one HBA card is not much 
compared to the disks, the enclosure, the cables...
