Software RAID is for you. Hardware RAID is only useful if you are buying the high end ones. Other than that software RAID is more flexible and is less susceptible to failure.
- dvfjsdhgfv 9y agoI also use software RAID. Nevertheless, it's not infallible. Recently a disk in one of the arrays went down, it got quickly replaced, but the server wouldn't boot. I had to connect via console and reinstall Grub - only then would the server boot and rebuild the array. A few weeks ago three disks failed at once. In cases like this the parent's notebook will be of limited use. In my experience traditional disks fail every 3-5 years - it's not something you can avoid.
