Hardware Versus Software

Although RAID is built directly into the Linux kernel, some users might find it advantageous to buy custom drive controllers that have built-in RAID capabilities. Some users might even find it worthwhile to purchase custom RAID systems that have been preconfigured. The choice between using software (kernel-based) or hardware (controller-based) RAID or buying a turnkey RAID solution can be difficult, but this book will help you determine which option is best suited for your needs.
