Such a board will not. It has the 2108 chipset, which is mr_sas. The only mr_sas-driven board I know that does JBOD is the low-end ones based on the 2008 chipset with the "skinny" firmware. In *theory* other chipsets could do raid, but LSI really likes their HW raid. :( Find something based on the 2308 chipset that uses "Fusion MPI 2.0". The 920x boards from LSI would probably fit the bill here.
