Agreed, but the OP specifically mentioned wanting to avoid creating more
on-site work. He could do all of the steps you mentioned remotely, so
the amount of on-site work for HW RAID or md RAID is equivalent, and
therefore shouldn't be a factor in choosing between them. The added
complexity might be an issue for a user new to RAID or to device
management.
