Screw their RAID stuff.
I'd be very suprised if it isn't some half-assed hardware/software 
winmodem-esq setup anyway.
Full software RAID is a perfectly good, if not better, solution. We do crummy 
twin IDE "server appliances" here, which software RAID1 all partitions, 
even /boot (with a little grub trickery if hda fails it'll still boot).
