I mistyped..hardware raid is the way to go. FRIAD will perform worse than Linux software raid most times..:)

Used to (bar buggy firmware, incompatibilities). Most hardware raid cards nowadays not only have sufficient processing power, they also come with decent sizes of RAM cache which helps swing things a lot in their favour.

If the load goes beyond what the card can handle, then yes, Linux software raid is the way to go.

Exactly how much throughput are you realistically anticipating? What connection are you going to use? 802.11 or 10/100 or gige? And yes, the chips will pretty much always give you better performance with raid.

Hardware raid gives better performance. Both of those are "fakeraid".It won't perform any better than software raid.
