Re-install with software RAID1.
RAID1 is cheap as far as CPU/IO time is concerned so it works well software wise, and you get email alerts if it gets degraded!
I agree with you re. CPU load, but what about hot-swap and auto rebuilding of arrays? Does software RAID give you this?
Maybe not hot-swap yet -- I think it is in the works, but you can have hot-spares that function very well. But fakeraid doesn't do most of that either, and an ICH9 controller is fakeraid.
