With hardware RAID controllers you set up new arrays by using the onboard firmware, not the Linux O/S.

If you have two RAID cards how many drives are connected to each?

If depends on whether you can connect 25 drives to one of the cards and whether the card firmware supports 25 drives in a single array.

What RAID cards (make/model) are they exactly?
