I guess I should qualify the original statement in the interest of fairness:

So far only with the Gen11 Dell servers. R710 etc.with H700 and a
couple of other PERC RAID controllers seem to be the ones that have
this policy. So, it seems only their new and cutting edge hardware has
this. I still feel this isn't the right approach.
