1120710 2010-07-21 03:57:00 True hardware raid can get pricey

"Onboard RAID may have its own hardware, but it's very thin and still offloads most of the processing to the CPU. An actual hardware RAID controller has its own dedicated processor"

Easier to just use the WIN raid perhaps, can even be a bit faster.

The software RAID run by the CPU is now considered the fastest RAID around because of the power of modern processors, its different when comparing server RAID controllers though, however the last 2 I bought in 2008 were $1800 each!
