Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Does it have to run in RAID 1 or 0 or can it just be used as a pass through port?
I'm aware of what I 'need' for ZFS, I'm wondering about this specific item. If I knew what it did, and how it worked I wouldn't have posted asking the question 
I believe since it's LSI 2308 based it can be run in JBOD / IT mode, but I'm asking here for clarification prior to buying it.

I have used it with ZOL. Works fine and performs well.
But, there is a big gotcha:
It brings up the drives asynchronously. On the Ubuntu server I was running on that machine, I needed scripting to wait for the drives to become available before starting the ZFS pool in the bootup stage. Basically, I added a script to the mountall startup script to wait for udev to present the drives. Example script is available in the ZOL documentation.
The board I was using was an intel s2600cp4. Maybe other boards have different BIOS systems that do not have this problem. Anyway, mitigating the issue was easy enough.
