i'm looking for a new HBA for my FreeBSD file server, is the LSI SAS3416 a reasonable choice?

it seems to be supported by the mps(4) driver and does both SAS/SATA and PCIe, and has PCIe 3.1 for the host interface, so i'm assuming it's a reasonable upgrade for my current LSI SAS2008.

(i mostly just want more ports, but more performance and the ability to use NVMe disks would be nice too.)
