You got me wrongly. The primary reason why "I" would make a RAID is
fault tolerance. In case of hardware RAIDs, rebuilding a sick RAID is
without any troubles. On the other hand for software RAIDs its quite a
trouble (atleast I am not confortablw with it, maybe I am biased
towards hardware). Also I guess you didn't notice that I mentioned
about the performance issues too.
