If you are trying to build a file server using FreeNAS or some variant of BSD using ZFS, you need a Host Bus Adapter (HBA) card, not a raid card. The HBA is able to pass through the attached SATA drives directly to the OS without a RAID layer, which is how ZFS is designed to work. In addition to the FreeNAS community page, I would suggest you check out the ServeTheHome forum
http://www.servethehome.com/
which provides a lot of useful tutorials and walkthroughs in addition to the forums. You will find specific recommendations and reviews of hardware (motherboards, ram, HBA cards etc) that work well with FreeNAS.
