RAID Controller Support

I've had success with 3Ware parallel ATA, 3Ware SATA, LSI Megaraid 160
SCSI (PERC3/DC on Dell) and the newer LSI PCI-Express SCSI 320 raid
(PERC4e/Di) cards.  The older LSI was the slowest of the bunch but all
performed OK.

I also tried an adaptec raid solution (PERC3i?) but it was too slow. 
A few years ago I had a Mylex raid card - but it crashed and corrupted
the array even though the hard drives themselves did not crash.

If you are concerned about maximum perfomance, my testing proved Linux
software raid to be faster than all of the above.  PCI bus speed may
also play a role if you have several disks.
