Ok,
I'm back again...

Thanks again to all for more replies and info, all the info of the list members is really appreciated.

So I have found this card and wondered if anyone has a second opinion on it (http://www.supermicro.com/products/accessories/addon/AOC-SAT2-MV8.cfm). Seeing as it states on the website that the CD that comes with the card has RedHat drivers on it, and I will be using CentOS 5.4 i386 on my little home server everything should work just dandy shouldn't it? I am trying find some examples online of people using this card with CentOS in a software RAID but nothing yet so wondered if anyone here has any input here?
