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?
