I am currently using a 3ware 12 port SATA raid controller with linux for 
our backup server. This card is great, and handles hardware failure very 
well. I must admit that the software it comes with for linux (called 
3dm) is very useful, as it's a web-based raid administration. I can 
remove and and drives from home if I needed to. I must complain about 
the installer that came with the software, as it doesn't install the 
program correctly. None the less, Highly recommended.
