The guys on the 2CPU.com forums seem to like Areca controllers a lot.  I
read about some people with problems, but Areca seemed to fix them
quickly enough.  Areca has source drivers in the 2.6 tree since last
year.

3ware has been good to me personally although I think their RAID-5
performance isn't very great.
