What do you need the lower performance for ? :)
Seriously, if anyone can submit a benchmark (bonnie & hdparm -t, or others of your
choices), that shows a HW RAID that runs faster than SW RAID, on the same disks,
CPU, memory, board, etc, I'd be very happy to see it.
I've seen a few examples on this list that showed SW RAID running several _times_
faster than HW RAID. But I have yet to see HW running faster than SW.
I'm sure it can be done. But I'd like to see it.
Thanks,
