Actually, Software RAID uses more system resources, whereas hardware raid relies on a RAID card. RAID1 don't need an expensive 3Ware card, a software RAID would probably be fine. Getting to RAID5 and RAID10, you will be needing hardware RAID. RAID1 will work if one drive fails, it mirrors data from one drive to the other. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --
