There are actually some very good reasons to do software RAID. As |
| 8 |
pointed out by others, if you are not CPU bound then it is just as fast |
| 9 |
as hardware RAID. Additionally, it removes reliance on a single |
| 10 |
hardware vendor. With hardware RAID if your RAID card dies you need to |
| 11 |
replace it with the same card, with software raid the hardware is |
| 12 |
irrelevant. The disks can be moved to a different box with completely |
| 13 |
different hardware. |

If you are going to do RAID5, though, I would seriously consider |
| 16 |
hardware RAID. With RAID0, 1, 10, and 01, software raid can do quite well. |
