The open source Linux drivers don't support the adaptec proprietary raid modes because adaptec won't open them. If you want a supported SATA raid card that actually does hardware raid then the 3ware cards work extremely well. In general however you might as well use software raid and most software raid setups on PCI Express are as fast or faster than hardware ones. Another significant advantage of open source software raid is you can move disks between different vendors controllers which is not possible with many closed solutions (and indeed is precisely why some of these vendors close them - to make switching product lines hard).
