As Robin Harris points out it is all software. The question is where does the software run, the "main" processor or the processor in the disk controller. One argument for putting it on the "main" processor is that motherboards track gains in Moore's law much better than do disk controllers. So if you want the benefit of Moore's law do your software on the motherboard processor. See http://storagemojo.com/2006/08/15/zfs-performance-versus-hardware-raid/ Onward, BobLQ
