If all you're doing is RAID 1 and budget is your primary concern, I think you're much better off using well-supported ATA controllers without RAID and then doing software RAID 1 using the Linux kernel's md stack. I use that a lot in production, and have been very satisfied with performance and reliability (on a budget).
