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.

I'm running the same setup (md software RAID) on CentOS 5. These $50 four port cards work wonderfully with the sata_sil24 drived included with CentOS:

They only come as PCI. I never found anything stable enough for me (which is VERY stable) for PCIe. Perhaps someone else has found something good for that slot.
I've used these as well. No complaints.
