If you have a fast cpu and you aren't using it for anything else (like is often the case on a file server) and if you don't cause your pci bus to be saturated, then software raid will probably be faster than hardware raid in general.
Interesting stuff. So how do you test your pci bus saturation?I guess I will try and do a test with bonnie++ using both the hardware and software RAID... will that be a reasonable test of the differences?
