Hi.
I'm currently building a NAS server, and I'd like to ask if there were any 12-port SATA controller (no need for raid features) on the market (apart from buying two 6-port ones)?
Something similar to this SuperMicro controller but with 12 ports (or more), instead of 8:

And with a SATA controller like that, will I be able to use software RAID on FreeNAS or do I need to buy a specific controller?
Thank you in advance.
