'Hassle-free' RAID controller for personal/home use?

This might sound like a dumb question, but I'm looking for a 'hassle-free' RAID controller for personal/home use. My requirements are fairly easy and 'low-end': It must support RAID1, if possible with hot-spare. And, more importantly, if a HDD fails it should just be a simple disk swap and 'a push of a button' to rebuild the array. Since it's for home use, I will connect SATA(3) HDDs to it. Interface should be PCI-e and will be used Windows.
Currently I'm using software RAID and I'm sick and tired of it. If a disk breaks, it's a major pain in the a$$ to restore just a simple RAID1. You need to fiddle around with some badly translated GUI via the webbrowser to fix it.... RAIDs become degraded for no apparent reason and it's really pissing me off now.
I've used a RocketRaid 2720SGL before, but don't have experience yet rebuilding the array if it fails.
Thanks in advance!
