Mainly I wanted to go hardware RAID because my software RAID isn't working
and I don't know how to fix it. I have both drives set up as RAID volumes.
fdsik reports them as such. But mirroring isn't working. My mirror drive is
empty. I think hardware based RAID would just be simpler to do and more
reliable. If I hadn't bothered to check and something happened my whole
reason for setting up RAID would have been for naught.
