Software RAID isn't much better generally, it still (to its fault) relies on the hardware telling something is wrong.

That was only a sane assumption on specific hardware in the past, but relying on the firmware of the drives themselves? That was *never* a sane assumption.

The page on would need some love, really.

To explain for instance that used strategies such as inline CRCs appended to oversized sectors (512b vs 520b) so that could be assured regardless of the reliability or lack thereof from a given drive & its firmware.

It's a lot more recent that these features were dropped for the ever-so-idiotic "more speed lol" reasons.
