My question now is: what would be the better way to implement RAID 5 on this server? Should I use the detected array and respective driver or should I delete the array and go for Linus Software RAID?
I don't know about throughput, but using software RAID has the following plus'es (in my book) 1) no need for the vendor specific agents to monitor 2) if/when you get larger drives, you can sub them into the array and then expand it. I haven't seen a hardware RAID card yet that will allow that
