That's true, although in the Linux world I expect that the number of |
| 7 |
software RAID users far outnumbers the hardware RAID users. Unlike the |
| 8 |
pseudo-RAID that Windows usually offers, Linux software RAID is proper |
| 9 |
RAID with performance comparable to all but the most expensive hardware |
| 10 |
setups. |

With hardware RAID, removing and reading a disk wouldn't work for this, |
| 13 |
just as it wouldn't for software RAID using whole disks. However, using |
| 14 |
whole disk with RAID5 is unlikely unless you have another disk too, |
| 15 |
otherwise you wouldn't be able to load the kernel. |
