Yes, you could go that route, but I would recommend looking for an LSI 9200-16e or the Adaptec ASR-78165 instead. They can both be found on eBay for about half the current price of the 9201, and either will work. The 9200 has the same chipset as the 9201 and the same connectors, it’s just slightly longer.
