Jason,

I bought an Adaptec 2100S Caching Ultra 160 SCSI RAID controller. It
comes with Linux drivers on the CD. It has only one channel.

Unfortunately, I have yet to try to get Linux running on the box
as of yet. Even more unfortunately, I still have only one drive
on it, but it's pleasingly fast.

BUY.COM has it for $424.95, or $382.95 if you don't need a cable.
(You might want to buy your own multi-drop cable anyway.)

Keep in mind that you will need 64-bit PCI slots to run at 160MB/s
speeds. Every Ultra160 PCI controller I've seen runs at 80MB/s on
standard 32-bit PCI slots.

I would like a recomendation for a SCSI 160 controller that does RAID 5
and has full linux support.

I have used and would like to get one of the ICP Vortex, but they are
soo expensive, over $1000.
