The cards listed below are the ones Infinex and I use.
BusLogic 958 | If your MB doesn't come with on board SCSI, this is a must get. Check http://www.dandelion.com/Linux/BusLogic.html for latest drivers. |
Adaptec 7xxx | I've seen from benchmarks I've ran personally that a built in AIC-7xxx runs faster then the BusLogic card. The chipset is picky when it comes to termination. |
SymBios/NCR8[1,2,7][0,5] | They are cheap and work great!! I don't have a list of card that use the chipset. A card with the 810/25 shouldn't cost more then $50. The 875 shouldn't more then $100 |
I personally never have used a PCI RAID card under linux. From
what I understand, Manufactors of RAID controllers have yet to
make The software to configure The card while in The Linux OS.
Don't get me wrong they do work under linux you just have to goto
MSDOS or reboot to get into The bios of The card to setup RAID.
Here's The hardware I've found that are suppose to work with Linux.
If you know of any RAID PCI cards that isn't like please email
to get it listed.
DPT | I believe all their PCI cards work under Linux. |
Mylex | Drivers still being developed at http://www.dandelion.com/Linux/DAC960.html |
ICP-Vortex | Driver can be found at http://www.icp-vortex.com/supp/down/linux/linux_e.html |
Compaq Smart-2 | Driver is still being developed at http://www.insync.net/~frantzc/cpqarray.html |

Outboard RAID is where The RAID lives outside your unix box. No need for driver because it makes it masquerades itself a one huge HD(s) and smart enough to control itself. Most if not all Outboard RAID will work with any OS.
Check out http://linas.org/linux/raid.html Just follow The links on that page to find more PCI and Outboard RAID solutions.
