I am not sure what h/w raid you are using - almost every major hba 
developer has had storage shaping since the last 4 - 7 years. Specially 
on self contained storage setups.

And yes, I totally support 
mdraid/areca/3ware/lsi/megaraid/servraid/cciss sort of solutions - each 
one of them has raid migrations.

my feeling is that you need to spend a bit of time and see how the 
storage world is moving these days :)
