I should have been more clear. Not any old windows crash will do it, no. And not every power surge will cause it, no. The thing is that it can and has happened for the reasons just stated, and it is far more prone to issues than seperate drives.
The hardware raid cards with bios chips are certainly more stable than others though. Sometimes they can recover from issues, but in case there is a problem, RAID 5 is always the best option.
