If you want to do some serious research, a few of the RocketRAID cards
are extremely low cost. Haven't used one (only worked with 622 model)
that works well in Linux. Still better than Windows, at least it
wouldn't crash the OS, just hose up the raid.

NewEgg and Amazon offer some RocketRAID models with glowing Linux
reviews for some models of RocketRAID, just stay away from the 622
IMO.
