"After EoL a colleague installed Linux with dmraid, LVM and xfs on the same hardware: much faster, more robust."

Please let me know which company this is, so I can ensure that I never end up working there by accident. Much obliged in advance, thank you kindly.

Why? What is bad about playing around with leftover hardware?

Nothing at all; it's what was done to that hardware that's the travesty here. It takes an extraordinary level of incompetence and ignorance to even get the idea to slap Linux with dmraid and LVM on that hardware and then claim that it was faster and more robust without understanding how unreliable and fragile that constelation is and that it was faster because all the reliability was gone.
