Quad NVMe controller: Will it work with FreeBSD?

Here is my 'Will it work on FreeBSD thread' for some current disk hardware. Not sure if this even needs drivers.

A 4x NVMe card for x16 bus. Can you imagine this with a MiniITX and 6 backing hard drives for ZFS.

Will it work with FreeBSD? Any sightings on other forums? It costs $400. This saves me slots even if I only use two NVMe.
I would like to see a low profile version with 2 slots on x8 bus. I have a 2U that needs tasking.
Half-off price too please...
Do you trust HighPoint or is this a gimmick device for people like me?
 
Looks like there is a driver needed. Uses both command line tools and WebGUI.
I wonder if the Open Source Linux driver they provide would compile...
I want passthough and not hardware raid..
Can't boot from it either according to datasheet...
Really cool concept.
