I think software raid is more fault prone. Also a extra controller doesn't
affect your CPU load, because everything is handled by the controller itself.
My experiences with 3ware SATA controllers are best until now. I have them
meanwhile here in about 20 servers. Most problems I had with Adaptec SCSI raid
controllers until now. 3ware drivers are allready included in the kernel. The
monitoring software is running stable and can be accessed by browser.
Removing/Adding disks at runtime was never a problem.
