While none for me either, I used to look down on HW RAID etc. Lately I've realized, such solutions are genuinely useful and more likely to survive/work properly, if the people managing it do not understand the technology, don't want to understand or just don't have the time for it. HW RAID with red blinking lights seems more likely to survive than a SW RAID that works until it doesn't, because you lost all the redundancy and noone there knows how either work.
