... and if you buy a spare hardware raid controller of *every type you have
in use*.
That's the main disadvantage of hardware raid over software raid - if the
controller dies, you're dead in the water unless you have a spare that's
exactly the same time. With software raid, if the controller or box die, you
just stick the disks in another box and you're on your way.
