The problem with most of these is you have to bring the system down to do maintenance. You can do a scrub on zfs while it's up.

Most non-hobbyist RAID hardware does online-scrub just fine (not that I would recommend wasting money on such hw).
Btw, ZFS scrub is not only a RAID-block-check but also a partial fsck, so its not really comparable.
We used the LSI 9286CV-8e (or dell equivalent) which was somewhere between $1000-$1500 back in the day. Worth it compared to babysitting any software RAID IMO.
