Hi all,
I've ordered one of the pci-e raid cards in the link below but I
can't actually find any info on it. Does anyone know how likely it is to
work under Ubuntu? Are there just a few pci-e sata raid chipsets that
are well supported or have I probably wasted my money?

Well I'd say you'd probably get your money back if it's not supported,
but I doubt it would work as a proper raid card. At that price it'll no
doubt be a 'soft-raid' card where the raid works with a driver and the
actual raid part of it is done by the CPU (rather than with something
like a 3Ware card which has it's own memory and dedicated CPU for raid).
If it works though you should be able to use Linux SoftRAID.
