Hm, interesting, so what would you say we should use it for and for what
not? I'm using it to survive the failure of a disk, and so far, it's
been working fine for that.

The currency is the problem. Knowledge applies the same to software
raid. Decent hardware raid cards are expensive, and hardware changes
over time, so you might find yourself with something that doesn't really
have the performance you'd wish for before much time passes. And what if
the card fails?
