hi if i may jump in with a question--i've always wondered about this, since I do not have any hardware raid equipment (I just use software raid):
Do the hardware controllers write data in a proprietary format, or do they write data in a "normal" fashion, so that when you pull out the disk you'd be able to read it without the controller? I've often wondered if you need the same exact hardware controller to read the disk, for example if the controller breaks down?
