I am looking to get a RAID card to put my SATA HDDs in a mirror. Has to

anyone please recommend a reliable one, $250 or less?
How many disks?
Personally my main server box in the house runs software raid6 with nine
drives, and then for the root disk I have a pair of SSDs running on a
hardware raid controller. It's a peculiar extremely cheap one:
0b:00.0 SATA controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE9128 PCIe SATA 6
Gb/s RAID controller with HyperDuo (rev 11)
Thanks all!
To follow-up: that would be a simple two drives in a mirror setup. So,
I had to settle with an LSI 9212-4i. A bit of a pain - had to flash new
firmware and I cannot get to the BIOS at boot time so I had to fish for
the storcli command line tool. But so far so good. At this point I would
think mdadm would be a superior solution
