Most of Adaptec's hardware raid cards use the aacraid driver that's part of the kernel. The link I posted certainly shows a card that does - I've used many of them, as well as their SCSI cousins (I can't comment on SAS - never tried it)
The only issue when you use a card to upgrade the disc setup on an older installation, the aacraid module might not have support for the newer card. Mantel's kernels used to be useful for that. > Anyone with opinions on Highpoint vs. Adaptec? Adaptec. My experience with Highpoint has been no better than with Promise.
