Linux md raid saves all it's core configuration and metadata in the superblock at the start of each partition. You can literally grab all of the drives from one Linux mdraid array, slap then in another Linux box that has never seen them before, and they'll show up just fine as a cohesive array (possibly requiring you to tell the OS to scan for them or to reboot first). Good luck doing that with most hardware raid solutions... As long as you have the spanning set of drives from an md array and a Linux box to connect them to, you can mount the array and access your data.
