I realize this is old but maybe you (or someone else) are still interested. In general, the higher the RAID level the lower the _write_ performance. If you are using RAID mainly for the redundancy then the general recommendation is to go with RAID1 Of course you can combine RAID also (ex: RAID10) to suite your needs. I have been using SW RAID in Linux for literally decades and, with the exception of levels that require checksum, the performance is fine for most things. Ditto LVM (which I highly recommend).
