Are there any MOBOs that include an integrated SAS 12gps controller along with SFF-8643 or SFF-8644 modules? (Excluding add-ons like the SAS Mezzanine card or the SAS PCIe card.)

They function as server boards with the SAS card integrated directly into the motherboard.

Consider checking the specifications. Which brand and model are you interested in?

I'm here to help clarify your needs. Could you share what you're aiming to achieve with this? Also, let me know the type of CPU you prefer and the case you'd like to use.

Customer needs TBs of videos and images stored on NTFS in ZFS using Unbuntu at the studio only. Pilot setup should use 8 SAS drives on a single 1U motherboard (iATX, ATX, etc.). Specific CPU choice isn't important for fast ZFS performance with multiple web editors.

What's preventing you from implementing an LSI card? It would significantly reduce costs compared to purchasing a full board and constructing a custom setup.

They have restricted rack capacity. What is the price for server mobos with integrated SAS? Which model numbers?

This was a brief lookup. It’s an older review, though they probably offer updated options. Consider alternatives like Supermicro, Tyan, and ASUS. The price tag around $1000 for the board is quite high.
