I'm using a 3ware 7506-4LP with 4x250GB drives in a RAID-5 on debian.
Works great.

Unless something has changed, I think you should stay far, far away.
Check the archives and the SX4000 mailing list. When I was looking for
a RAID card I also thought about getting the SX4000 - at least until I
read reports on the SX4000 mailing list about how difficult it was to
get working reliably under Linux, even using the Promise drivers.
