After doing some more digging, I’ve found it’s apparently possible to use MD1200 controllers in place of the MD3600x FC controllers, which I have no intention of taking full advantage of the fiber part since I’m really only looking at doing a single host config.
Now it’s more a matter of making sure it actually will work, and the getting the proper HBA/SAS controller (I don’t really know the difference)

Congrats. I’ve moved away from using Google other than for school/work (I have no choice there). Although I still haven’t deleted my personal account yet.
