Does this mean there's little advantage of hardware mirror raid over software? So software mirror raid increases chances of data corruption while decreasing the chances of downtime. True for hardware as well? Hmmm. I've used hardware raid cards for mirrors that have the verify function. It would be interesting to know how and what those cards do.
