I'll agree with all of this, I've had many of the same pain points over, whatever, 15 years of doing the same. The UI on these controllers is terrible and often impenetrable. I remember whatever HP used for 'hardware raid' on DL380g6/g7s was prone to locking up+crashing under heavy load. But, again, this is very low end to middle end 'hardware raid'. It's single-digit disk stuff. It's a cheapo PCI card in a cheapo server.

You can multiplex hundreds of disks across multiple SAS backplanes. And, yeah, those software RAID [0] systems are really cheap. :-) Software RAID is deployed in low end systems, sure. But also in very high end systems where compromises can't be made. And anywhere in between. [0]: For example, see: https://www.oracle.com/storage/nas/zs7-2/ https://www.oracle.com/storage/nas/zs7-2/
