Dell is same, you can replace the controller and not lose the data, BTDT. This reminds me of something I should put on the long version of my resume..

I can't speak for Dell, but with HP if the controller board goes bad you can replace it without losing the data on the RAID. What happens if you lose your system disks on a software RAID system? From: John Aldrich [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, September 28, 2010 8:55 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Small server I am looking at getting a small server running Windows Server 2003, so I can have my time and attendance running on a supported O/S. Looking at Dell's Premier site, the least expensive option only offers a Software RAID5, unless I'm mis-reading the options. Would you guys rather have a Hardware RAID0 / RAID1 or a software RAID5? Any other options I should be looking at for a small server? We're primarily a Dell shop here, but I can look at others, including "white box" servers, so long as I can get some sort of warranty / hardware support on it.
