I'm under the assumption that hardware RAID is preferable over software RAID. I know many freeBSD users are basically taking advantage of the OS's power and using older hardware configurations to produce performance that rivals other "high level" OS's such as Windoze. I'm interested in some recommendations on a reasonably priced (under $2k) yet very high performance setup for RAID - anyone have any specific recommendations? I'm enjoying the dialogue on abstract performance issues - obviously you guys have experience, so why not outline what you're using, and in what kind of application? I'm looking for something for a web/e-mail box that will do about 350Gb a day in transfer so I need something that's solid and high performance.
