I'm sorry for your data loss. Not a nice thing to experience.

When/if you get a hardware RAID controller, be sure to get a hardware
controller that you can reliably purchase and replace. A friend of
mine had some pretty bad trouble when his hardware controller fried
and he couldn't easily get a replacement.

I'd actually suggest getting a h/w controller that uses an internal
format that is supported by some software implementation, so you have
more options to rescue the array. (I think mdadm can read some h/w
ctrlr data formats (??))

Best of luck.
