[CentOS] SATA controler req

Hello,

I'm looking for a recomendation for a SATA controlers.  In the range of 4-8
ports, either PCI or PCIe (for desktop use) and/or PCI-X, PCIe (for server
use).  I'd especially like it if the Linux driver was already in CentOS or
easily added.  Everytime I find something interesting, a google search shows up
either the drivers is for 2.6.30 (ie, not CentOS), someone tried it and it was
unstable, or it has a proprietary driver.

They will be used as JBOD, with mdadm for RAID where I need it.

Thank you,

-Philip
