Similar to what you are describing. Some connected drives would not reappear when hotswapped and sometimes would fail to appear even after reboot. I did not do any thorough testing in the OS after installing the drivers and creating some zpools because by that time I intuitively decided to return them.

I recommend staying away from the cards requiring imr_sas drivers.
