I myself use a hardware serial ATA RAID controller from 3ware,
specifically the 3ware Escalade 8500. It is in the Linux
kernel with a fully open-source kernel since the 2.2 series, and has
worked very well for my needs. I'm not familiar with any other offerings
for SCSI, as I haven't dealt with any SCSI components at all. But there
are a lot of options out there; just wait for some more people to give
you some more input. ;)

It can do RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, JBOD definetely, and some other RAID
something that I can't think of right now (3?)
