That's the trouble with RAID, you lose the controler and the 
disks are useless until you get an identical (or near identical) 
controller - and the one you used is probably no longer made.

Years ago I talked to a tech guy at a RAID controler company 
(don't remember which one), about some problems a client 
was having. His statement was, "Hey, RAID controlers are 
cheap, you should always buy two so you have a spare.
