Subject: Stupid Question?

Hi,
I feel like this is a stupid question. But I actually don't know the answer
to it. If I'm going to make a Software RAID array with a bunch of identical
disks, do the disks have to have at least one partition on them? Or can I use
disks with NO partitions?
Similarly, if I have made a hardware RAID array (say, with a 3ware 8506
card), do I have to create at least a single partition on it before I put a file
system on it?
If partitions aren't necessary, is there any advantage or disadvantage to
having a single partition on a disk versus having none? Is having no partitions
faster?
