Having used them for 20+ years now, I strongly recommend against
hardware RAID controllers. Hardware SAS/SATA interfaces with
mdadm or ZFS are better in every one of my use cases.
That said, the best devices of these kinds are basically the
same:
LSI 2000 and 3000 series
Broadcom BR93xx
Areca anything
Carefully picked Adaptecs
