anyone have any opinions about the adaptec 2400 (ATA) or 2410 (SATA)?
they have driver support in 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernels - no idea how good, though.
unlike the 3ware cards (or any other IDE/SATA raid cards i've heard of), they
do have a large (128MB) write-cache - which is essential for raid-5
performance.
