The only IDE hardware RAID I've found reliable is the EzRAID from
arcoide.com. It only does mirroring and only with two disks, but it
is hardware-ONLY so it works the same on every OS without any software
support at all. It just looks like a single drive to the IDE
controller -- not all of Arco's products are like this, though, so
beware. If two-disk mirroring with hotswap is enough, it does a great
job. If you need more, I would use SCSI or software.
Disclaimer: I haven't gone through a "real" failure with one of these,
only simulated ones.
