He should be able to flash the card, making it a pass. I do a lot of them. If someone doesn't beat me to it.

You'd need a PERC >> H-series card to get support in FreeBSD.That's something I didn't expect at all. So there is nothing which can be fixed on FreeBSD side? :(>> Someone please correct me if I'm wrong? > As I mentioned. I was suspicious of this.

I can ask the provider if they can install some card. Do you have some recommendation? What is supported by Dell and FreeBSD for ZFS? I really appreciate your help! Kind regards Miroslav Lachman
