Not specific for Debian, but you have a list of sata raid chipsets and
their status in this page:
http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html
Side note: if you are considering mounting a RAID system, I would avoid
using the so-called "fakeraid" chipsets (BIOS/RAID and driver -or dm-
dependendant) and better go with a pure linux software raid (md).
Another good option should be acquiring a real hardware raid card but
they are a bit expensive.
