The point here is that hardware or fake hardware raid will require a matching controller, where linux software raid will work on any machine with a compatible interface. In the case of RAID1 you can use any single disk that still works - or even plug it into a USB adapter cable to access the data from a different machine. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
