Monitor RAID and inform user on failed drives
Monitoring services is great, but when a RAID drive fails, this can also have a strong impact on operations. A failed RAID drive cannot be monitored yet. Plesk should add suitable monitoring for soft RAID and the most commonly used hardware RAID adapters like LSI or Adaptec to check the RAID status and inform users on the GUI if RAID is defective or a drive needs replacement.

This is beyond the scope of Plesk. Plesk is a hosting control panel, not some sort of server management system. You can just run Nagios or some basic mdadm parser to check the status of your RAID set.

Read this post please.
Very often software RAID is losed and when the good HDD broke down, you get old data back from bad RAID.
