I'd be interested in recommendations for RAID cards for small SATA systems. It's not anything to do with Postgres - I'm just intending to set up a little four-drive array for my home computer, with cheap 1TB SATA drives.

What PCI-Express or motherboard built-in SATA RAID controllers for about four drives are there out there that are good, and well supported by Linux? What level of support is there for monitoring and reporting of RAID status?

Also, is it possible to set the drives in a hardware RAID into auto-spindown mode? I'm going to be putting a SSD in as the main system drive, with the RAID array to hold my large stuff which I only work on part of the time.
