It could just be me, but I swear Hardware RAID has been faster for many many years, especially with RAID5 arrays - or anything that requires parity calcs. Most of my benchmarking was done on SCO OpenServer and Novell UnixWare and Netware, but hardware RAID controllers were always faster and of course required far less host CPU resources. Raid 0/1/10/0+1/whatever arrays, I recall weren't as drastic, but I can't imagine the controller making as big a difference as the drives in the array - unless of course the drive for said controller sux! <snip> <font size="1"> <div style='border:none;border-bottom:double windowtext 2.25pt;padding:0in 0in 1.0pt 0in'> </div> "This email is intended to be reviewed by only the intended recipient and may contain information that is privileged and/or confidential.
