The comments here are a treat to read. I have used hardware raid for years. But I stick to only raid 1/0 or combinations of those two. With hardware from 3ware/lsi/broadcom or whatever their name is this week I have never had an issue or a rebuild failure. With software mdadm managed arrays in Linux I stick to the same raid types and have never had any issues. One of my home arrays alone is over 50tb. Systems at work with an unnamed faang company are much larger. The cattle commonly have raid 10 arrays as part of their recipe. I was unaware people were scared of raid. As I tell everyone though raid=\=backup, common mode failure can strike anything.
