I have been researching RAID and Software RAID online using FreeBSD's 
availible documents, and I am wondering what the performance of using a 
simple RAID 1 capable card over a software RAID 1 configuration? Will the 
software RAID perform well enough that I could just cut costs of a RAID card?

thanks.
