Hi,
I'm considering setting up my Centos Desktop machine for RAID 1. I
read a lot of good info at this site:http://linuxmafia.com/faq/
Hardware/sata.html#intel-vitesse about differences in fakeraid and
real raid cards.
Discontinued chipset but works fine:

Nice price! $35/ 5 SATA drive support. Fewer drives is a $21 card.
No drivers, you run the RAID from BIOS, it shows as an IDE volume for
linux. See the NewEgg comments for some tips. Depending on the
speed you need, it could be just great.
You need Windows to update the firmware. Supports a handful of RAID
types, but not RAID 5. True hardware RAID though.
All the firmwares, manuals, utils are at: http://www.soft-port.dk/
