That is my understanding too. Perhaps I'm just lazy, but I like being
able to just plug all the drives into the controller and have everything
just work. I am not saying software RAID is bad, but I just don't have
the time to fiddle with it anymore when a cheap and stable hardware RAID
card is readily available and is well supported with "out of the box"
kernels.
