Just did a terabyte Raid 5 array last week with a 3ware card under CentOS. Plugged drives in, defined the array in the BIOS, reboot, stuck in the CD. Worked first try. 15 min total. I've been doing arrays for 10 years, and that was *by far* the easiest one I've ever done (and the largest!). I shudder to think of the horrible Micropolis ones I was doing in '94 - a days work just to get it configured and formatted.
