What would you say to $30 + drives ?
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/Supported_PC_hardware/index.html
SiL 3112 SATA, 3114 SATA/RAID
VIA 82C686, VT8237 SATA/RAID
I've not tried either of these but I am waiting to try one of them out,
I managed to spec it as part of a different job.
The supported hardware page doesn't mention the RAID side of things but
as far as I can tell it's all on the cards and they just appear as a
single drive.
The SiL one is reviewed here :

The actual controller :

Which is built in to some cheap motherboards, for instance the
DFI LANParty UT RDX200 CF-DR
There's a bunch of them on ebay.co.uk for $30
But even brand new they aren't too bad
