This begs the question why did you pick hardware raid over software raid
?

I have been a long supporter of software raid, but I find myself leaning
towards a HP smart array 400 and using hardware raid (looking at 10
disks in raid6).

My current thoughts are why should I have 10 channels (4 of them come
from 1 pcix card) when I could have 1 channel to the smart array. there
seem to be a few cciss utilities for me to track the array 


I am waying this up against the ability to easily manage the array and
do upgrade and change disk and monitor the individual disks
