SAS RAID controller

Hello.
Any hint on a good, well supported RAID 5 SAS controller?
One that has command line tools to rebuild arrays in case of
problems?

I've been offered an Intel SRCSAS144E or an Intel
S5000PSLSAS 
motherboard with an "activation key". AFAICT this
are not supported? Am 
I wrong?

Any other option?

  bye & Thanks
	av.

You mean ICP 5085, don't you?

This would be aac and aaccli?



I doubt I could find an ICP adapter around here (Italy): I
didn't ever 
hear about this vendor before.
Perhaps it would be easier with Adaptec; any experience with
these?

I'm planing an internal hot-swap box, so I guess I'll need a
RAID 
adapter. However, I don't even see any host-adapter listed
in the 
hardware notes (otherwise I could use gmirror as a last
resort).

I guess you'll need to write to the mailing list then 
I've put them back in cc:
