I got it specifically because the back of the box said it was
compatible with FreeBSD 7/8+ as to my version:

It is the store brand of MicroCenter:
https://www.microcenter.com/product/508183/inland-professional-1tb-ssd-3d-nand-sata-30-6-gbps-25-inch-7mm-internal-solid-state-drive
as you can see from the dmesg output above they only differ in serial
number.  I was unable to find info about who the OEM is.

See above

Don't have access to one but I specifically overpowered the power
supply under the assumption I would be adding stuff to the machine
over time.

Yes I even tried two brand new ones

Those are all the connectors I have on the machine (no on-board video
so I have to leave the card in)

There are 2 16 connector PCI-E slots that the NIC can plug into tried
both of them with the same results as above.

Yes Windows boots from all ports and FreeBSD is seen from none of
them.    FreeBSD (my default boot device) will boot from all of them
if the NIC is taken out.   If the NIC is not present it also will dual
boot windows as normal on all ports.

The CMOS sees all devices in all ports *EXCEPT* the FreeBSD SSD when
the NIC is installed.   All devices are also 100% functional with the
NIC in except of course not seeing FreeBSD at all.
