We've just been looking at the Adaptec 2120S SCSI RAID card and the
management interface eats up CPU. Needless to say we are not impressed.
Also we have a few AMI Megaraid IDE RAID cards in production that have
never given us any problems. However they are not in high performance
servers.

For a slightly more upmarket aproach you could try an IDE internal to
SCSI external RAID enclosure like those offered by Nexsan. Has the
benefit of hot-swap just like proper RAID.
