5 In terms of recovering data after a crash I think software raid is
6 safer, or
7 at least easier to recover. The advantage being that the data storage on
8 a software
9 RAID1 disk looks like any other non-raid disk. Depending on the hardware
10 RAID controller
11 you may not be able to read the data on your disk without the hardware
12 raid controller.
