HW RAID cards may have specialized hardware for doing XOR calculations. However, no raid card currently on the market has a 3.2GHz xeon at it's core. Most are ARM (up to 750MHz?) or i960 (up to 66MHz) based. The system CPU can certainly out perform the tiny processors on the raid card. Of course, if it's doing raid calculations, it's not do general computational work which is one reason to use hw raids. --Ricky - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
