Depends on what form of raid you are using. RAID 0 & 1 do not perform better on a real hardware RAID controller. The operations are so simple that it doesn't matter. However when you use parity (for example RAID 5) then yes, a real hardware controller performing the RAID operations is a lot faster. And, one of the most striking arguments I heard about software RAID is, when the controller fails, you don't lose your RAID setup. Maybe today that isn't a problem anymore, with stuff like RAID migration, but I haven't tested features like that. > > > Am Sonntag, 18. Juni 2006 19:07 schrieb Johannes Held: >> Cool.

Pure software RAID, the onboard controller used doesn't have any RAID functionality. >> >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ >> >> _______________________________________________ >> arch mailing list >> [email protected] >> http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
