I have used NCR SCSI controllers since in 1989 (not in linux then.) I have a Buslogic flashpoint on my current system. I've had good luck with all my NCR cards/motherboards and the cards can be very cheap. I would probably go for a higher end card that had hardware RAID support or stick with the cheap NCR/Symbios/LSI? (has the LSI purchase gone through?)
