I believe it will work great with unRAID.  I have the 3 Gb/s version of a similar SYBA card (SYBA SY-PEX40048) also based on a Marvell chipset.  I have three drives connected to it and it has been working great for two years.  What I initially thought were problems with the board turned out to be unrelated to the SYBA card.

@anonomouse - thanks, I forgot to post the promo code.

 

@Hoopster - thanks for the info. Not sure I need the ports quite yet, but it'll sit on the shelf just fine!

 

 

EDIT: There's also this one:

That is very similar for $18 with promo code AFNJ2995  and it's valid through 13 Dec

For the record, I ordered the card and got it in the box yesterday. On the first boot, none of the drives showed up. I pulled my new 3TB drive from it, plugging it into another 4 port card that had an open port, and it booted right up and is working fine so far. I don't know if it's a bad port on the card, if it won't support a 3TB drive, or if i just didn't plug it in firmly.
