Now, the weird question. If one can get a hardware RAID controller with battery backed up RAM for cache, the cache only works if the controller is doing RAID. In JBOD mode, the controller is not used. I saw one article in Sun's (pre-Oracle) documentation that ZFS is supported on hardware RAID. However, you lose bit rot correction. This is mitigated, if the RAID controller patrol reads though.
