I'm not referring to $650 RAID controllers. I'm referring to IDE RAID
controllers which should be under $100, and SCSI RAID controllers which
can be as cheap as $150-$200 (specifically Mylex DAC-960 based
controllers, which are fully supported under Linux). Search
pricewatch.com if you're interested.
