If the hardware fails, you can no-longer access your data unless you can replace the broken hardware with the exact same hardware. This may be impossible a year or so later. If data integrity is important to you, then you'd have to buy two sets of RAID hardware, and not use the spare until the first breaks down, and then only use the spare to move onto another set of RAID hardware with working spares. The opposite approach, of having your OS make a RAID using ordinary drives and interfaces, means that everything is under your control. There's also reports to say that speedwise this is just as good, if not better, than some RAID hardware. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, all using Gnome in case that's important to the thread.)
