Hardware RAID vs. Software RAID

Category: Storage

Tags: cpu, server, software, network

Overview To make informed disk array purchase decisions, it is important to look beyond a discussion of the different RAID levels and also understand the differences between software and hardware-based RAID implementations. Software-based arrays are typically the least expensive to implement. Conversely, the true cost of this implementation can increase dramatically if the demand they place on the server CPU necessitates an upgrade to maintain acceptable network performance.
