This completely depends upon which RAID level you're using. If 3 or
5, you're probably okay, and once you replace the disk, you'll get
your performance back. If you're running 0, 1, or 2, you're screwed.
Of course, if the controller you bought of eBay goes, then screwed
completely regardless of RAID level.
If you don't want to spend money for a new RAID controller, why not
just use the built in meta-device stuff in the Linux kernel? It
works great and it's free!
