RAID also gets funky if a drive fails or the card fails...

To replace them you have to make sure you have HDs that are bigger than the ones in the array and having a backup RAID controller sitting in a box on the shelf is not a bad idea (exac same model is the working card).

Since you are not booting this drive, this issue may not be as critical, but it is something to think about.
