It’s hit or miss. Put your HDDs on a nice HBA you’ll have a proper good time.
I’ve IT flashed two or three PERC H310 cards and they work great. At least in Fedora with ZFS, not sure about freenas. Probably work fine. Get a couple 8087 breakout cables from amazon and boom you’ve got eight SATA drives.

Neither am I TBH.
These slow ass USB drives take forever to get things installed and booted.
As a side note the LED access light is nice because I know its not just locked up or quit on me.
