seems to be only one manufacturer, and only one seller currently. I guess most people building >6 drive arrays have the cash to waste on limited boxed solutions or higher-end hardware controllers that abstract the details (and often flexibility) from the system.
Or use dumb LSI SAS controllers (sas3442e-r with IT firmware loaded, $200) and port expander based chassis that allow considerable flexibility regarding md RAID and number of SAS/SATA drives attached.
The only current caveat that is being worked on, is that use of smartmontools causes drives to disconnect.
