When I rebuilt my software RAID a few years ago I tried a couple cards and the best one ended up being the Silicon Image 3114 cards from http://www.satacard.com -- they have good kernel driver support and didn't keel over on a 4 drive RAID5 like the others did.

Re: [SLL] eSATA PCI card
not sure how close debian is to ubuntu but i've had trouble with this PCI-express card on ubuntu: areca ARC-1300-4E PCI Express x4 SATA Controller Card I'd steer clear of it and related cards/chipsets unless they specifically come with drivers. I had success with this card: SANS DIGITAL HA-DAT-4ESPCIE PCI-Express x8 SATA II (3.0Gb/s) Controller Card Which worked without any drivers in Ubuntu 9.04 and 10.04 I use this to run an 8 drive raid 6 array and besides the mdadm learning curve I've not run into any troubles.
