3ware 9500S; can be had used and NOS (New Old Stock) on eBay cheap, and has great Linux support. Performance isn't stellar, but is adequate. I'm looking right now at a 'buy it now' on an 8 port for $59 free shipping. I see an older 8006-2LP (used) with a starting bid of $9.99.
I am using one I got a couple of years ago NOS off eBay; it's the 4 port 9500S, and it has been in production for two years at this point.
You can clone the single drive to a RAID logical drive just as if the RAID was a single drive.
You just need to make sure the 3ware's drivers are in your initrd; either put the module there before the clone or using a live boot CD.
