Linux software RAID works pretty much flawlessly. It's often advised
to ditch hardware RAID, as that approach both limits flexibility as
well as locking you in.

do not have that option, so be careful).

If you're going to be using a SAN setup (e.g. fiber HBA), then you'd have
to see what the SAN is capable of, although I daresay many of them would
easily support something like that (invisible replication). I don't think
you'd need mdadm when using a modern-ish SAN, anyway.

Another possible idea to consider might be network RAID, Linux-style,
using NDB/DRDB/AoE, etc.
