I would consider Software Raid

Hello fellow Postgresql'ers.
I've been stumbled on this RAID card which looks nice. It is a
PCI-X SATA Raid card with 6 channels, and does RAID 0,1,5,10,50.
It is a HP card with an Adaptec chip on it, and 64 MB cache.
HP Part # : 372953-B21
Adaptec Part # : AAR-2610SA/64MB/HP
There' even a picture :

I know it isn't as good as a full SCSI system. I just want to know
if some of you have had experiences with these, and if this cards
belong to the "slower than no RAID" camp, like some DELL card we
often see mentioned here, or to the "decent performance for the
price" camp. It is to run on a Linux.
Thanks in advance for your time and information.
