How and why?

What’s the CPU load difference on this?
-
2% software RAID, 4% hardware RAID. Yes, it's even worse at *that*. I don't even.

It doesn't matter. Same exact hardware setup, hardware RAID is crap, software RAID (on top of the same hardware RAID controller, but in JBOD mode) works.

Weird. Guess I'll be sticking to software RAID for my NAS.
