I ran testing of hardware RAID versus all software and didn't see any
differences that made either a clear winner. For production platforms you're
just as well off having JBODs.
This was with bonnie++ on a V240 running Solaris 10u3. A 3511 array fully
populated with 12 380-gig drives, single
I have attached a readable txt format of the test.

I have seen a few arguments around the net for zfs on hardware raid, so i am
posting the results of bonnie++ on a t3b.
I am using snv_55b and the t3b has the latest firmware (read,write cache on)
and is configured with 8 disks on raid5 and one hot spare.
bonnie++ command was:
bonnie++ -d /t3 -r
