I have had good luck with using the linux built in raid.
For raid-1 the mdadm tools should be just as fast as any raid card that
you can get on a budget.
Raid-3 and above do better with the caching on higher end raid cards but
then your likely out of the $250 range.
The important thing it to monitor the raid status.
If a drive fails and your not checking the status you will only find out
about the first drive failure when the second one fails and your
filesystem is unrecoverable.
I have seen this happen with raid-cards and also with software raid.

Hello,
I am looking to get a RAID card to put my SATA HDDs in a mirror. Has to
be hardware RAID for that particular machine which is quite old. Can
anyone please recommend a reliable one, $250 or less?
Thanks!
