It's not only CPU factor, I don't trust software RAID.


I suspect you don't have a choice. Either the RAID is done in the kernel on your host system or the RAID is done in the the firmware on your RAID
card.  In either case, it's software.

Sure, everything in the end is SW anymore, at least at a controlling level. But it does not involve the OS and can have special HW circuits used to perform certain functions much faster. It reduces the strain on the OS.
