3Ware and Areca supply quite useful utilities that also work in Linux
very well.

Adaptec - I don't know.
They aquired a lot of companies over the years and thus the quality of
the management-apps is/was sometimes questionable - and you never knew
which one was good and which one wasn't as it varied between different
revisions of the same hardware (which might have a similar name but a
totally different tech inside...).

I've got lot's of Adaptec-SCSI gear at home - just no use for it
anymore, because SCSI-drives don't make sense anymore in a desktop.
It's not even the capacity - it's the noise.
