All of the controllers mentioned so far--3ware, MegaRAID (both made by
LSI), and Areca--are true hardware RAID controllers. If you intended on
doing md RAID you would probably not purchase one of these, but would go
instead with a simple SATA/SAS controller with sufficient ports and
bandwidth to host all your drives (and make sure all hardware components
supported hot swap).
