Best hardware raid card out there?

[drak3]

Hello,

I want to buy a raid card for the A8R32MVP-Dlx mobo which wont be a bottleneck because of its interface.

Any more info towards the right direction appreciated.

two 36GB 8MB raptors SATA I

but plan is to end up with 2x150GB 16MB soon if nothing better...

finally, the main reason for leaving the onboard raid (soft) and looking for a raidc ard (hard) is because of linux. The softraid idea is mainly build for windows and as such I will be better with a good raid card. But how about performance? card vs onboard (sitting on bus)
