Well, until the soft-raid support is done, you do need a 'supported' PCI controller (sounds like you've already resigened yourself to that). If you're looking to just plug in a controller, hook up the drives and go, I've had good luck with the Intel SRCS16 SATA controller (which is a LSI MegaRAID SATA 150-6 basically) but that probably a bit more than you want. LSI also offeres the 150-4 (US$309 vs US$389 for the 6 channel) which should be supported by the amr driver. -Sam
