I have one of these (it's in my mirror box). It's okay. It's not stunning, and I lost the array once (due to a bad drive and loose connectors more than the card). It runs under CentOS 3 without special drivers, but Adaptec also has some driver software (not sure whether it's newer or not -- it's ``minimally tested'' according to them). I also have an Adaptec 1210SA (two-port SATA), which is running under Debian with a custom kernel as I couldn't get it working (at all) under CentOS at the time I was building the machine. That card is a complete POS -- forget about hardware RAID, but it works okay with software RAID. If I had it to do over again, I would definitely go with 3Ware cards over the Adaptec cards. What you might save in money isn't worth the hassle.
