performance lost in using a software raid array with only 1 disk

[Jerry Geis <geisj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is there any performance lost in using a software raid array
with only 1 disk?

I was wanting to use the mdadm monitoring tools to monitor the
machines single disk drive for failures and such. Is there any
performance hit for such a setup?

Some machines have RAID some machines dont (for me) and
I was thinking about a common setup.

Also then if I want in the future I can actually just add the second
disk and now I have RAID.
