I have the LSI MegaRaid SATA-4 150 (or some such name) in a FBSD box  
and another in a Solaris 10 box (which I hacked to make it work since  
the amr driver would support it on Solaris but the various config  
files Solaris uses to recognize cards wouldn't recognize it).

Real HW raid.  I am not using Raid 5 though.  It does support it I  
just have no experience with it.  Monarch  Computer  
(monarchcomputer.com) recently sold me 1 for about $230 .

Sounds like it fits the bill.
