; Note that the 3108 is HW-RAID and uses the mr_sas(7D) driver, while 3008 (with IT firmware) is a simpler HBA and uses the mpt_sas(7D) driver.

We are running some Dell R730s with PERC H730s (using LSI 3108) in
pass-through mode with the mr_sas driver. No problems here but I'd still
recommend choosing something that works with mpt_sas as that has been
better maintained and is well tried and tested.
