Most raid (soft or otherwise) will usually do it. I don't know any SCSI hardware which will do it reliably unless you go fibrechannel or SATA simply because a dead scsi drive can and sometimes does hang the entire shared bus.
The majority of the time the aacraid based cards will do what you need (most of the time anyway) and can also do a lot of on the fly recovery and management. The fusions can do some raid stuff of this nature. Most of the newer hardware is going SATA however.
