As well, a controller failure(rare), will take both drives offline. > md.o or raid1.o as being the culprit. I ran a raid5 on the main backup server here, and it handled >2GB files via both ssh and smbtar, and everything else. I also had another system running a software raid1, and it handled large files as well now that I think of it. Debian 3.0r1 though on both, with a custom built 2.4.20 kernel. The one machine now runs a 4x250gb 3ware 7500-4 raid5 array though, and the other is a 2x40 3ware 7000-2 raid 1, so I can't double check for you with software raid.
