I am running a very inexpensive (A$35) ata100 ide card and run it with Linux in RAID5 software mode with 3x 80GB IDE sitting one on each channel of the IDE card and the third on the second channel of the motherboard with a 10GB disk on the first motherboard IDE channel as system disk.
I also have another card (A$120), which works in the same way as above with 3x 60Gb drives. I had no problems. Don't know about performance in detail, but they should take a little bit load no problem. High performance go SCSI and hardware RAID. I would use only ADAPTEC.
