Are the hot swap bays compatible with Linux mdadm RAID? i.e. Upon detection of disk failure, the respective HDD LED on the bay can be turned ON?
no, not all are. Only a few work with mdadm ( or rather in a way that mdadm can work with them, even the basic mdadm hotswap capability is new'ish. Test it a few times to make sure it works for your setup. ).
I am trying to reduce the cost if I can get by with mdadm RAID10 with additional tools to detect failed drive and
Also, mdraid10 isnt the same as a normal raid-10, unless you meant to imply that you are doing a raid10 with md-raid tools.
