Sorry if this is a little off topic but I've only got experience with SCSI based RAID solutions. I assume if your card dies you can't read the config back in off the drives then like you can with SCSI? What about if you got a replacement card and set up the config the same?

IMO I would allways go with hardware because IME I've never had a hardware failure on a RAID card on over 100 servers, but I've had plenty of instances where the OS is totally screwed and if you were on software RAID you would lose your data.
