I've been using software RAID with Linux on and off since 1998-ish and 
it has *never* bitten me in the behind.  That said, the 3Ware 
controllers are so cheap these days I just find it easier to buy one of 
those and let the card do all the heavy lifting so I don't have to worry 
about all the software RAIDisms. 

Cheers,
