@roberto : would love to but i can't. I have only 3 sata ports available on my motherboard, otherwise i would be running zfs already. :/
I don't have any choice here, either i buy a compatible raid card or a hba card (or buying an expensive nas lol)
@gordon : The number of atx motherboard dedicated to gamers with ecc compatibility is close to none.
Since i am no exception (no ecc support) i will not change my motherboard for this, never had an issue and i had 3+ To of datas for almost 5years, would be pointless to change my motherboard now anyway since i'm waiting for kubylake.
The basic consumer just follow the trend, if constructors don't feel like we need it they won't put us fancy features.
I'll look at your links thanks. Already did look for specific chipset that are good with zfs but almost every list is too old, seems that every time a brand is building something that works they don't change it for like 10years or something.
Ah ! That's how you call it in english, didn't know, well that's what i'm looking for, already have the mini-sas to sata cable.
I'm talking about passing your disks as jbod with an hba card, since you will not rely on some hardware card ram and processor my logic (and some tests i found online) tells me it will be faster.
@rick : was looking for hba already but everytime i find a good card i have to mail the tech support of the constructor to check if it will run with my kernel, such a pain...

I think I'm talking about the cases you mentioned in an earlier email. A
lot of HBAs have a single cable connection, such as a mini-SAS
connection, that connects to a board (a backplane) that sits at the back
of the drive bays, on which the power and data connections for the
drives are mounted.
Otherwise known as a JBOD ("just a bunch of disks"). There are tons of
JBODs out there. Google search for "JBOD" or "storage arrays". I even
see an HP enclosure for $250 US from HardDrives Direct.
