I use 3Ware exclusively for my ATA-RAID solutions. The nice thing about 
them is that
they are REAL hardware RAID and the use the SCSI layer within Linux so 
you address
them as a standard SCSI device.

Also their support is in the kernel... no wierd, experimental patching.

On a Dual 2000 Athlon MP I was able to sustain 50MB/sec over large
copys (4+ gigs). Very, Very happy with them.
