you are stuck with whateveer tools the hw raid vendor gives you
if you use software raid, your choices are infinite of how to
monitor a software raid and what you want to do with the raid
setup once it notices error conditions
at this point, your only option is the roll of the dice ..
that you'd notice missing files or the system tells
you blatantly that its dying before it does erase itself
because the other disk died/dying, and so the good disk erases
itself too
