O.k., well, yesterday the other fellow yelled at me (not really) that I should be doing software RAID anyway. I *can* get anything overnighted to me, to be sure. Should I?
I use software RAID 5 with a 2.4 kernel, and with a 4+1 120GB setup (468GB total usable). My experiences have been mixed: nothing patently bad, but I wouldn't exactly call it a smooth ride, either. If you can go for the hardware controller without too much hassle, go for it.
