1. Can anyone recommend a good controller that does hardware raid (not in driver/kernel level) and is fully supported under linux?
There was a recent discussion on linux-kernel on why software raid is
better for you. To sum up: you aren't locked into a single vendor's
metadata format, and most hardware raids just end up doing software
raids anyway. See the archives or kernel traffic for the details.
Which SATA controller (without raid) has the best support for linux, then? from what I heard many have binary drivers only.
I'm going to use it in intel isp1100 servers that is pretty old now. Should I expect any problems with the BIOS?
