I don't know whether to go down the nVidia Raid route or Linux Software
RAID route.

I personally prefer hardware RAID, where it is available, but I have no
experience of Nvidia RAID controllers, so I don't know whether they are
a goood thing or a bad thing.

I did a quick google, and it appears that some distributions do not
appear to work with an Nvidia RAID controller, but I don't know the
extent of this, and whether it is just one particular controller type
that is problematic.

Mark.
