I'll second that. I have a 2U Supermicro box with a X5DPL-TGM main board and Adaptec AIC-8120 on-board controller. CentOS 5.x works fine with the individual drives BIOS configured as JBOD devices, leaving any RAID to Linux software. We have another 1U Supermicro box with a H8DAR-T main board. This has an Adaptec AIC-8130, but that's disabled in favor of a 3ware controller which does Real Raid(tm).
