[wellylug] PCI RAID5 Controller cards + Linux

Hi All

I'm looking at purchasing a PCI-based (not PCI-X or PCI-E) RAID-5 controller
card for my home server.

I'm not worried if it is PATA or SATA - but it needs to be hardware based
and supported in Linux. I would like between 4 - 8 ports.

I'm not to worried about brand, as long as it works.

Now the reason I'm asking is that my server box (Dual PIII 1GHz) doesn't
support IDE PATA disks larger then 137GB and also SME Server 6.x only
supports software RAID-1.

Thanks

Michael
