dedicated cards but they work well enough for us.
I prefer the nVidia nForce4 Ultra Chipsets. They have a nice raid setup. We needed a cheap box for
data server but with a lot of tempory disk space. A system with the K8N Neo4 motherboard, Athlon
64 3500+, 2gb memory and 5 250gb sata drives yields a fast box with 1tb storage. All for under
$1500. I know this is not an Enterprise DB box
but again everyone has to evaluate their needs,
budget and boss.

My $.02. As I agree SCSI has had a reputation for being
a more solid enterprise type drive, everyone's mileage varies. We have moved to using all SATA drives in our newer servers. I have to admit most of our databases are smaller than what many on this list have. All our db's are under
500 megs. My reality is this. If a SATA drive does fail,
so far only 1 over the last 18 months, it is cheap and easy
to replace. I have all my setups raided so we have no lost data. At the same time I have several Hitachi/IBM SCSI drives...
What controller do you use for RAIDing the SATAs?
