I bought a used Apple Raid Card for my 5,1 earlier this year from Amazon, and unfortunately the battery was dead and I returned it. I never had a chance to really try it out.

I've been running 4 drives in software raid 0 for as long as I've had this machine and it's always been great in terms of speed and reliability.

Are there any real advantages to getting a hardware card to do this? I've always been curious what the pros and cons are.

Thanks!
