Sorry, this is a tad confusing - why would the onboard RAID be so bad on
the DL series, but it's still a reccommended platform? The reason I
would buy a server of any description is to get the hardware RAID thing
working nicely, coupled with hot-swap drives. I'm all OK with toying
around with soft RAID at home, but at work I don't need any adventures...
