Linux does support hardware RAID using DPT SCSI controllers (which
have a caching RAID module that you can purchase as a stand-alone
controller or as an add-on module). divadtech sell DPT controllers, if
you're looking for prices then please contact us.

I currently use a DPT PCI-based SCSI card in my PPro which runs Linux,
however I have not tested RAID support, however I have read that it is
the only brand suporting RAID under Linux. DPT work in conjunction
with the Linux community to develop drivers for their cards.

cheers.
