It is the same as any other software RAID. If you do a search for "software RAID vs hardware RAID", you will find as many opinions as you could possibly want. My own view: For a workstation with a few drives in a RAID0, RAID1, or RAID10 configuration, I highly doubt you could notice any difference. Where hardware RAID shines is on large disk arrays at more sophisticated RAID levels. - Pat
