ZFS is a much more modern design and because it integrates the whole storage layer it can offer all the features it does, which a RAID controller hiding behind a disk interface cannot do.

I used to use hardware RAID pre-ZFS but have never again after switching to ZFS when Solaris 10 first included it.
