config, or gmirror/gstripe config.

usually it's far much slower

Sorry, but my experience with that very server using a P400 controller with 256MB write cache is very different. My benchmarks showed that controller using Raid5 (with only 4 disks) is significantly faster than software layouts.

possibly with RAID5, but for sure slower than single drive

The days when hardware controllers could automatically be considered slow are long gone.

unfortunately not.
