I have access to many boxes that have two disks, support native Intel MatrixRAID, and proper hot-swap backplanes. I also have access to a Promise TX4310 card, which I can hook up to said servers (vs. using the onboard ICH7). I should be able to reproduce failure scenarios (pulling disks while in a RAID-1 configuration, etc.) on those systems and report back here.
