I will also put my vote in for 3ware. Using them here on 2 systems and 
they really are great cards.

level.  Never had a single problem with the 3ware cards.

From what I've heard there has been problem with therre raidcards since
the driversthey have released is closed-source precompiled for redhat or
suse.... but this is not a raidcard and the driver is not distribution
specific but rather kernel specific 2.4 or 2.6
I really appressiate the input and I will have a look at 3ware.
Thanks

Hi I'm in the process of setting up a new backupserver and has gotten my
sight set on a controllercard from promise called SATAII150 SX8.
There is som opensource driver to be downloaded from promise so my
question to you all is... Is there anyone out there who has gotten this
to work under Linux (gentoo)?
If you have gaotten this to work where you satisfied with the card or
would you recomend something else?
