Not a specific server model, but I can recommend Areca and 3Ware
RAID-Controller. They both work fine with Linux (may need some kernel
patching though) and there are even CLI programs to interact with the
controller. Additional benefit: smartctl can be used to access the HDD
healths through the controller.
