In my personal research I've had very little luck finding Linux drivers for
SATA stuff. I've had better luck with standard hardware from the usual
suspects Promise 3DM... just make sure there are Linux drivers, particularly
RPMs for your card before you buy and you shouldn't have any problems.
I have a 3DM card running now on our mail server now and other than some
update problems it's been fine.
Don't get one of the cheap Promise cards as they don't do a real hardware
RAID. They are really just an IDE controller and use software RAID.
