The manufacturers I'm looking at are: Adaptec Highpoint 3Ware Promise
Can someone with knowledge about these tell me the pros and cons with each of them?
Definitely stay away from Promise, they only make pseudo-hardware-RAID
devices where the (windows) driver does 90% of the work.
You'd be much better off using the kernel's software RAID instead.
3ware make some good, real hardware RAID controllers, but they're pretty
expensive. And still, software RAID works great on Linux.
Anyhow, stay away from any RAID controller that is cheaper than 1000 EUR
because it's crap. And yet, software RAID on Linux outperforms most of them.
Umm.. does that answer your question ? ;)
cheers
