Do such cards exist? If so which model /manufacturers do you recommend? Any experiences/info/insights on hardware RAID cards good or bad on centos boxes would be appreciated.
3Ware 8000-series cards are probably the most compatible going back at least 3 years. 9000-series cards are faster/better and CentOS 5.1 should have full support for them.
For me, in SATA RAID cards it's 3ware or nothing. Been using them for more than 8 years now.
I picked up a extra 8006-2 (2-port RAID) a couple weeks ago for about $120 as a spare for my home system that has a 8006-2.
