I have been successfully using a pair of Addonics AD2SA3GPX1 cards, with
  4 x 500GB in a stacked RAID0 on top of a pair of RAID1 configuration.

The cards are cheap and use the sil24 driver, which seems to be one of
the better supported.

Performance is good - read/write speeds of 140MB/s in bonnie++ as I recall.
