Hi,

I don't have any ssd yet, but if you want cheap card without hardware
raid, you could look at those :

You'll need to revert the bracket as they're designed to be in a
supermicro UIO slot (In fact, they are just standart PCIe card upside
down). They use the mptsas driver in linux which works ok for a long
time, and can be found for ~ 130$. It work pretty fast (~ 800 Mo/s with
a 8 drives raid10f2 in my brand new nehalem server).

You can also find this one  for ~ 120 bucks :

No proprietary slot this time, the chipset is supported in 2.6.30 (but I
haven't tested it yet) via the mvsas drivers.


Hope you find this usefull.
