What RAID level do you plan on using? Mirroring shouldn't use much CPU, for
example, but parity might put a bit of a load on a hard-working system.
That's a good question, though. Several cards are listed in the hardware
compatibility notes, but they stop short of saying "this card is completely
supported" or "stay away from this one". What cards have people had good
luck with in practice?
