I would recommend software raid. Because it's made by some great |
| 2 |
folks in the linux community and it is a project in development (so |
| 3 |
you can get lots of support and updates, though it is very stable and |
| 4 |
is used in many prod systems). |

Also the tool 'mdadm' combined with the output of /proc/mdstat gives a |
| 7 |
very good flexibility and ease of administering the raid. |

I wouldnt touch fakeraid, and i would only use hardware raid for a |
| 10 |
serious purpose (ie business) since it costs a lot and efficiency gain |
| 11 |
can only mean something in a serious project. (I'm using several |
| 12 |
raids on USB keys, dont laugh!, for my small 4gb EeePC, it raid6 has |
| 13 |
been working super fine on software linux raid). |

When Earth was the only inhabited planet in the Galaxy, it was a |
| 31 |
primitive place, militarily speaking. The only weapon they had ever |
| 32 |
invented worth mentioning was a crude and inefficient nuclear-reaction |
| 33 |
bomb for which they had not even developed the logical defense. - |
