Another manufacturer is http://3ware.com/, but again you have to buy
through a reseller. 3ware is very Linux friendly and provides a GPLed
driver. It *looks* like a SCSI disk in software, but you can do RAID
0, 1, and 1+0. Performance approaches 100 MB/s. But the best part is
that the expensive 8-disk unit is only $400 for the card.
