I need help choosing a HBA

 

Hi, I have recently "accidentally" bought an 8TB sas drive, it is a Seagate ST8000NM001A 8TB HDD EXOS, I am planning to put it into a proliant n54l micro server just as extra storage, I have no real reason for raid as I am just using it for storage of non important footage recorded from a gopro, I think the proliant has the correct back planes, but if not I will use cables, I need a HBA as the n54l only supports SATA on board, I have no previous experience with sas, but I have been looking at using a Fujitsu 9211-8i. My question is, will that work? Or if anyone has any other suggestions, I think I have read that some HBA cards have a 4tb drive size limit. 

Thanks,
