Subject: Recommended PCI Express or PCI-X SATA (Raid) Controller?

Hi,

I want to add a PCI Express or PCI-X SATA Controller to my system for
an additional 2 or 4 sata ports, however I am running Xen so I am
stuck with a older kernel version, gentoo xen 2.6.21 has proved to be
fairly stable on my hardware but I may attempt to upgrade to 2.6.25 if
necessary, can anybody recommend a pci-x or pci express sata
controller with 2 or 4 ports that has been well supported since at
least 2.6.21?

I assumed that any real hardware raid device would be beyond my budget
but I might just be able to afford a Areca ICAe1210, has anybody used
Areca cards with older kernels?

Thanks
Andy
