I want to add several hard drives to my Ubuntu box so I’ll have enough room to backup my G5 (in addition to the Fw800 drive) and also rysnc down the web sites. Looks like the real hardware RAID cards for SATA are not too bad, at around $100 to $150. On the other hand, the solid SATA II cards run $300+. Ouch.

I don’t want to use dmraid, AKA fakeraid. The performance under Fedora with a Highpoint was not too bad, but certainly not up to hardware RAID stats. Anyone have any experience with any of the cards?
