Re: hardware raid solutions?

I need a relatively low-cost hardware raid solution (not pseudo
hardware) so I can implement raid five on the root and boot
partitions. For a variety of reasons, I would take quite a bit of
convincing to use software raid for this application.

Considering the trouble I've been having getting a bootable dmraid/LVM
setup going (weeks of pain, no gain) I think that's a good choice.

Does anyone happen to know if hardware RAID is easier to configure
than software RAID?
