Hardware IDE/SCSI RAID for Windows 2000 Servers?

reezle asks: "Mostly I was wondering what other sysadmins have been doing for Mirroring or RAID-5 in their w.2000 servers. I really don't like the M$ 'Enhanced' disks that allow for RAID, since I've actually lost a volume during the conversion from 'basic' to 'enhanced', and also I worry that I will get locked out of the volume if the OS goes belly-up on me. There is also the idea that software RAID is much slower, but it's cheap, and so are some of my customers. What kinds of solutions are being used successfuly? What kind of recovery nightmares have people run into? Is IDE RAID ready for the real-world server market yet?"
