So you are saying that I need to get a replacement PCI riser , to use the
PERC 5/E card with HW raid ( where I prefer SW raid), and get replacement
PCI-E FC cards to connect up to the Dell/EMC array on the same server. 
All because the MD1000 SAS enclosure is not really a true SAS device?

Let's face it, there's no Hollow Earth, no robots, and
no 'mute rays.' And even if there were, waxed paper is
no defense.  I tried it.  Only tinfoil works.
