when choosing between hardware and software RAID configurations on Linux workstations. Comparison Hardware RAID versus software RAID in regards to a variety of considerations. System Performance • Hardware RAID may better balance system performance through asynchronous performance and offloading - HP Xw8400 | Hardware versus Software RAID on Linux Workstations - Page 3
tends to be much simpler than in software RAID. Availability • Since hardware RAID requires specific hardware drivers, it is not always available on Linux workstations as a certain hardware manufacturer may not provide Linux support. • Software RAID support is only available in kernel 2.4 and later - HP Xw8400 | Hardware versus Software RAID on Linux Workstations - Page 4
