Software RAID is certainly not a solution I'd use except in a pinch.  The 
overhead is too great.

HW RAID is a better solution, but also has its own issues with throughput 
bottlenecks (5+ drives on a single controller = massive need for 
bandwidth to the controller, and most don't have it, so your performance 
drops).
