If all I want is a mirror RAID, is there any reason to buy a bespoke RAID enclosure and drives, or could I simply RAID two drives together via Disc Utility in OSX?

I have a lot of video data that I need to protect and my simplest solution is a two bay enclosure, then use DU to create the RAID.

Are there distinct advantages of a hardware solution over the software solution in my case?
