If you can live with software raid, I have had great luck with the promise
sata300 tx4 pci (4 port) ~ $60. I have used them with opensuse 10.3 and 11.0
with _zero_ problems. I don't know about whether the kernel module used has
been incorporated into the kernel yet. I just know you plug it in, attach the
cables throw the install dvd in and install as usual with nothing extra
required. Just google the name for the best prices. I think newegg is ~$66 but
you can find it for less than 60.
