I work with a lot of hardware raid from a couple of vendors.

The documentation is rather sparse and when it does exist not always
consistent and/or complete.

And if something goes wrong with the firmware (like the array drops
offline all at once) the recovery is not always well documented.

And that ignores the fact that if your hw controller dies that you
need to find a compatible hardware controller that can make sense of
the raid format saved on the disks.

My current array is 10 years old and has been moved to 3 different
motherboards and has used at least 3 different add-on SATA controller
cards.
