Normally, yes, the computer can see the SMART status even in a RAID.
I've actually seen this a few times when a drive in a RAID started to
fail.
My original recommendation stands;
If you want your stuff to last as long as possible,
turn it off and leave it off for as long as possible
Dan.
So don't use it? :(
