I'm assuming that your SMART is one of the Hardware RAID controllers.
Which to use is ultimately up to you and greatly depends on what you
require for your data. If your data is very important, I'd run with the
SMART, mirror and have a good backup plan. If speed is important, I'd run
with the SMART and RAID 0. If stability is important, I might stick with
the internal SCSI, I haven't run the SMART under linux that much.
For most of my uses, I'd use both...:)
