For raid 0 there is no advantage. > If your raid is entirely on PCI plug in cards and you are doing RAID1 there is a speed up using hardware assisted raid because of the PCI bus contention. If your controllers are PCI express, on internal high speed busses (eg chipset controllers) or at least half of them are then generally there is no win with hardware raid 0/1 and it is often slower. - 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
