I've had reasonably good experiences with the 3ware Escalade 7810
controller. (This is also what ftp.netbsd.org is using.) However, it's
IDE, so I recommend you just give up on the idea of hot swap, or even
drive cages; wire the drives directly to the controller.

I have benchmark results available if you want them; e-mail me privately.
