BTW, just as a data point, my Areca controller (ARC-1210) has on several occasions demonstrated it's ability to recover nicely from drive failures. One of my Maxtor disks has this bad habit of periodically hanging. Popping the drive out and putting it back in causes the controller to immediately notice it and begin an automatic background rebuild (its a RAID5 configuration w/four 500GB disks). The rebuild takes about three hours to complete (on an unloaded system).
