Is there any performance lost in using a software raid array with only 1 disk? I was wanting to use the mdadm monitoring tools to monitor the machines single disk drive for failures and such. Is there any performance hit for such a setup?
For monitor drive health I would think smartd would be a better choice.
Some machines have RAID some machines dont (for me) and I was thinking about a common setup. Also then if I want in the future I can actually just add the second disk and now I have RAID.
This is not a bad idea if you plan on actually upgrading running machines non-RAID machines to RAID 1.
