We're upgrading from a model 10 to a model 20
Nike array.  (There's a glut of these, and they
were REAL cheap.)

I'm in the middle of deciding whether keep it
in hardware RAID configuration or to switch to
MPE/iX mirroring, since one can now do it on
the System volume set.  (It wasn't when the 
system was first bought, so we stayed with the
Nike hardware RAID.

There is the performance issue of keeping it
Nike hardware RAID versus the safety of MPE
Mirroring.

Has anyone switched from one to the other?

Any war stories? 

A side issue is that one can use the 2nd
Fast and Wide card on the array when using
MPE mirroring, but you can't when using
Model 20 hardware RAID.
