Because after doing some preliminary benchmarks, I've found Linux's
software RAID to be significantly faster than 3ware's hardware RAID (at
the sacrifice of higher CPU usage, but since the machine has a fairly
fast CPU and doesn't do anything else, that's a sacrifice I'm happy to
make).
I have some iozone and bonnie++ results, but they're at work and I'm at
home - I'll post them tomorrow.
