    I've been using h/w RAID for 10 years, in everything from 60GB
    (using scads of 4GB devices) to 15TB SANs using 147GB devices,
    and have *never* *ever* seen what you suggest.

    I would, literally, fall over dead if I ever saw that happening.

    A truly uninformed statement, by someone who must not have ever
    needed to pull a drive out of a running system.

    SCA is a great and useful idea, and I wish there was something
    similar for internal IDE drives.
