actually, I prefer the LSI 'HBA' cards in IT mode, with the raid
functionality completely disabled, and use the host OS's storage
management, ZFS on FreeBSD or mdraid+lvm on Linux.    Only place I would
use a 'true' RAID controller would be on a Windows Server as Windows
software raid is awful, ok, and on a VMware ESXi server, as its storage
management is awful, too.   But on that latter, I would MUCH rather use
NAS/SAN storage.   And on the Windows server, I would much rather it be
virtualized.
