I'm shopping for a new server and have been using software RAIDs.
But I wondered about doing recovery on a hardware RAID vs a software one. I know with a software RAID you have to enter a series of commands to get the replacement drive working back in the RAID so it can re-sync.
What has to be done in a hardware RAID after you replace the failed hard drive? Is it easier and less time consuming than for a software RAID?
