Hardware RAID doesn't seem to be going away quickly. Since they're almost all made by the same company, and they can usually be flashed to be dumb HBAs, it's not too bad, but it was pretty painful when using managed hosting and the menu options with lots of disks all have the raid controllers that are a pain to setup; and I'm not going to reflash their hardware (although I did end up doing some SSD firmware updates myself because firmware bugs were causing issues and their firmware upgrade scripts weren't working well and were tremendously slow)
