Never ever do hotswapping in a software RAID. Remember, a hardware RAID controller PATA, SATA, SCSI alike, should costs well over $250. If you paid less than $200 for a "hardware" raid 1,0,5 card then it is doing bit calculations at the software level and in my experience is VERY unreliable with hotswapping and data rebuilding, not to mention slow. I think this also applies to the ICH5 RAID. Though I have not had to test it yet with my SATA game servers.

Intel ICH4 does not follow specs :-)
