He. So what does me a h/w RAID controller good  when  I  find  myself
having  the  system  in 90% I/O wait? On a file server (that does not
perform other services which would utilize the CPU)  s/w  RAID  gives
much  better  performance  -  at  least in the usage szenarios we see
(which means serving a *big* number of relatively small files).

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
