I have run 3ware PCI Express boards on Linux with excellent performance and no problems. I think the board was called 9550, but I'm not at work at the moment, so can't check. The 3ware cards tend to cost USD 3-400 and up, but for this you get a real hardware raid controller, not some "enough bios support to boot from, and then the Windows driver handles the raid" piece of crap. (We've also used Adaptec controllers in a few installations, but we're moving away from those because of some problems with the controller silently corrupting data under heavy load. The 3ware cards give better performance than the Adaptec cards we've been using, too).
