iXsystems. http://www.ixsystems.net. They have Adaptec RAID controllers. I did some testing on them and they solidly trounce every other RAID card I've used thus far (Mylex, Compaq, HP NetRAID). I love their servers, I've got about 20 of them in production now on systems I manage. They're rock solid with FreeBSD. My company has about 200 of them and I spec them for production use every time I get the chance.
