i've been useing software raid 5 for a while, the only time i had a serious
problem was when my ide controall card when it took my two drives with
it..... so now i have 3 drives and 3 controller cards :-) its great to i
loose a drive about once a year ( i'm not longer buying WD i think i am
going to start going with maxtors ) and i can just buy a new drive plug it
in a run 'mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --add /dev/hd<drive letter>' and an hour
or so later its up to full power....

Yes move the disks to another machine and reboot.

What is the reliability of software RAID in the event of a motherboard
failure? Will I be able to recover my array?
Can I add drives to the array later?

Hi Everyone,
For those who do use hardware RAID5 cards for ATA IDE drives, which
cards have you (not) had success with, for use in a mythtvbackend
machine? Or in any Linux-based machine for that matter?
I'm pondering picking up something like a Promise FastTrak SX4000.
Why bother. Software raid easily outperforms any of these
raid cards, Its Robust, Mature, Universally Supported, Open Source
and highly configurable.
Oh, and did I say ROCK SOLID?
