I suspect you don't have a choice. Either the RAID is done in the kernel
on your host system or the RAID is done in the the firmware on your RAID
card. In either case, it's software.

You wouldn't be saying that if you had had one of your RAIDed drives
fail and had no indication whatsoever that it had done so. IMHO, OS

The three big plusses for hardware raid are: if you get one with

True hardware RAID frees up a lot of CPU time if you have heavy IO and software
just can't keep up if you utilize CPU intensive

It's not only CPU factor, I don't trust software RAID. As for monitoring, I can
tell
whether or not a drive is dead via SAFTE chip and all SCSI RAID cards support
SAFTE and a proper SCSI server would have SAFTE support. As for SATA, the
3ware cards have 3dm tool to monitor the array.
