  1. Another gotcha I ran into after also reading about it here and other places is the SAS 3.3v power pin issue. This could likely affect you with your SAS drives. I also used the SAS SFF 8087 breakout cables with SATA power input cables. If you do that, you can't use regular daisy-chain SATA power cables. Instead of messing around with pin-masking, I recommend you use a Molex to multiple SATA power adapter like this which simply bypasses the 3.3v power pin to the SATA adapters which let my system boot and SAS drives spin-up. Just make sure your power supply has a Molex power output cable free.
  2. This thread helped me to downgrade to 6.5.3 due to the Realtek driver bug causing networking to die. It looks like 6.6.x is just too unstable for a few hardware configurations.
