=====Hardware RAID=====

With hardware RAID, you use a special RAID disk controller to perform the actual striping across multiple disks. As RAID is performed in hardware, the performance may be faster than software mirroring, depending on the capabilities of the various hardware. Additionally Hardware RAID can simplify configuration and array rebuilds because to the operating system, the entire RAID disk system looks like one single disk. You should be able to use any supported SATA or SCSI hardware RAID controller. NB: other options than mirroring may be supported by the controller.

<!--** If you are going to use hardware RAID, you should NOT choose Install - Dual hard disk with software RAID-1 mirroring during the installation process described in section 1.5.4. Installing the Software. (Doing so will enable software mirroring.) Instead, you should do a regular installation of the software. See [[Booting]]-->
