You should have no problem at all. I have used a number of the:

http://www.lsi.com/storage_home/products_home/host_bus_adapters/sas_hbas/combo/sas3442e-r/index.html

controllers.

The only thing to watch out for, as has been discussed in the last few 
days, is that use of smartmontools to monitor disk health on these 1068 
based cards, wll cause drives to be offlined, when used with recent kernels.
