Hi David,
If you are after proper controlers:
http://www.areca.com.tw/index/html/ do some intresting stuff,
various uk retailers stock their stuff such as http://www.xcase.co.uk/acatalog/Controller_Cards.html
and just in case you looking to build a SAN, fiber channel is dead long live iSCSI

Nope, iSCSI is a bit different, I dont think you tried it so don't understand its potential
iSCSI uses SCSI like disk attachment over Ethernet and IP instead of fiberchannel. So you have virtauly no distance limitation (within latency limits) and its availible to your whole LAN/MAN etc as any IP service and the cost is reduced by a huge factor.

I know exactly what iSCSI is, I just think its uses are limited, I think its perfectly good in the right environment. IE blade servers and a big SAN such as the HP MSA's / IBM ESS and maybe so you can mirror disks easily between data centres or have a proper cluster, but I just dont like the idea of it and havent seen many instances of it apart from on NAS boxes, but we'll ignore that! as I have a dislike for NAS devices.
