The adaptec is at the low end of SCSI RAID controllers.

For good cards, look at the Mylex DAC960, DPT, or ICP Vortex
controllers. The ICP Vortex line are my personal favourites - native
linux array management tools, and you can also perform all array
functions from the card's ROM BIOS when setting up systems, or if you
can't access the OS for some other reason. They're not cheap, though....
