Hardware RAID should in nearly all cases offer better performance than software RAID. However, software RAID is acceptable on a server that will not have a heavy CPU utilization.

I'll also suggest hardware RAID over software RAID. Software RAID is prone to a greater chance of loss.

Hardware RAID is always the best route to go. This way the data is not dependent on the OS. I have had experience with going cheap and using Windows and it never fails something crashes and data get corrupted. So if you can swing it go hardware and then use your OS to manage it with the software that comes with it.

RAID stages are generally controlled by utilising the disk controllers and configured on the BIOS component. those have utilities it is administered on the OS, yet they frequently do greater suitable alarming and proposals initiatives than somewhat RAID configuration. confirm the documentation on the stress controllers you have on your server. There are RAID structures that are application somewhat than hardware based, yet there's a actual average overall performance hit linked with them. bypass Hardware RAID in case you may
