Because M$ Windows implementation of software raid sucks? As part of my job I support windows servers and almost every 3rd party manual I've ever read says something along the lines of "If your data is mission critical, do not depend on windows built-in software raid. Get a real hardware raid card." Some then go on to explain all the pitfalls if a user is still inclined to use it, and some of the issues are scary. Contrast that to the reports I see on here of people using 6+, 10+, 12+ member raid arrays on mdadm (software) raid and having no issues other then perhaps some performance tweaking. -- Drew "Nothing in life is to be feared.
