    There are many situations where "machine should stay down, until
    the new replacement disk is sync'd ... and that can be a whole day"
    is totally, absolutely unacceptable.

    Perfect example: a box handling Customer Service Representatives
    in a "bricks and mortar" environment. You walk into the electric
    company during lunch hour to pay your bill, only to see a long
    line because "the computer is down", syncing 200GB disks.

    That's where h/w RAID & SCA come in.
