Over hardware raid?  Never; hardware raid is always better than
software raid (but is always more expensive too).  If you're asking
which of ccd and vinum is faster, I don't know.  Try both and tell us :)

- You misunderstood. I am planning to do a Hardware Raid 5 with each shelf
giving 3.5TB of disk. Then I need to put a Raid 0 stripe across the 3
shelves with software to give me the ~10TB filesystem. For this which would
be better... ccd or vimum?
