Got a 2e hand Dell T330, with Perc730 raid and 6 sas disks (no ssd). Wanted Freebsd and ZFS so I had to put the perc in HBA mode. Problem was FreeBSD kept using MFI driver witch didn't let me talk to disks directly. Luckily, found answer on the forum: boot the installer, drop to loader prompt, set hw.mfi.mrsas_enable="1" and boot, install Freebsd with ZFS, don't forget to add hw.mfi.mrsas_enable="1" to /boot/loader.conf before reboot. forums.freebsd.org/threads/cha
