for some unfathomable reason, IT (initiator-terminator) internal SAS 
cards are nearly unobtanium.   The external ones cost stupid money, at 
least as expensive as high end SAS raid cards, and I really don't 
understand it.

ok, I do understand it...   MS Windows prefers using hardware raid since 
the built in storage management is dreadful.
