There are ASR-5805Z on Ebay for under a hunder. Is this a good choice for a home server/NAS that will use Snapraid? Or should I just stick with getting a serveraid?
 
Unfortunately even @ the low price of 100 dollars I personally don't think it's worth it for any kind of JBOD setup. That particular model is very picky with SATA drives, runs extremely hot and Adaptec's JBOD implementation on the 5 series is kinda funky. It's also a bit outdated. If your just looking for a simple HBA, you'd be much better off with an IBM M1015 or something similar.
