Why is hardware RAID better than software RAID?

 

If uptime and stability are important to you or your business, hardware RAID is very useful. Backup will help you to avoid catastrophic data loss. However, restoring large amounts of data (for example, in the event of a drive failure) may take several hours to perform. Hardware RAID allows you to withstand the failure of one or more drives without losing data and in many cases without causing any downtime.
Hardware RAID is also useful if you are experiencing speed issues in multitasks, when applications are waiting to perform tasks on disk. By using hardware RAID, you can ensure that the high-speed array reads and writes data at a high speed, thereby providing you with additional throughput. In addition, if you use hardware RAID, the hardware RAID controller will include additional memory as a cache, which reduces the burden on the physical hardware and improves overall performance.
