I would go for the hardware; software RAID just ain't worth the hassle. :) I use an ASUS board, the A7V333. It has an on-board RAID-controller, from which you can boot easily; it supports RAID 0 and RAID 1, and is a high quality motherboard altogether; and the whole thing will only set you back around $120,--. - Mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
