I'm not sure what cards you can get now with the LSI 1068E chip.
As LSI branded cards cost more, I went for for the LSI SAS2008 based
Supermicro AOC-USAS2-L8i as I new I wasn't going to use port expanders.
It could be hard to get cards with the older chip now (you might have to get
something second hand).

The Supermicro AOC-USAS-L4i wouldn't be enough for you as it's only got 1
external connector.

I'd be happy to help with debugging the 6G problem.  I could probably

A port expander would be required and just a few older drives in the
enclosure.
A developer (of which I'm not) would need console access and ability to
install new kernels, reboot etc.

Good luck...
