If money isn't an issue - the dedicated 3ware raid cards are very hard to beat! At home I have had good luck with software raid, using a PCI-X SATA controller from Marvell. = $100 http://www.alibaba.com/product-free/110322224/8_Port_SATA_II_300_Marvell.html I have two of them in two different fileservers running 7 and 8 500gb disks, they have been very solid - owned them for 4-5 years now. You also might just want to look at replacing your motherboard with a motherboard and cpu combo from Microcenter - they can be pretty aggressive price wise and so many of the new motherboards these days are shipping with 4-6 sata ports right on the motherboard. No need for an add on card. I have a Gigabyte board with 6 sata ports that I'm running a software raid-10 with 6 1tb drives, and it is extremely fast. Always lots of choices, good luck!
