LSI MegaRAID controller with 4 disks in JBOD mode (and nothing else). One disk fails, and the whole controller gets stuck and stalls and crashes and has to have the firmware full reset by the driver. Seriously, why are hardware RAID cards such complete garbage?

This has happened to me on *two* machines with different LSI cards recently. How do they intend to sell redundancy if their whole card crashes when a disk goes down? Yes I know about IT mode firmware, these are not personal boxes, crossflashing experiments aren't an option.

Dell and Lenovo, the server vendors involved, only offer rebranded LSI.

FWIW I've never had trouble with LSI IT mode firmware (HBA mode); it's just MegaRAID that is total crap.
