    Over hardware raid? Never; hardware raid is always better than
    software raid (but is always more expensive too). If you're asking
    which of ccd and vinum is faster, I don't know. Try both and tell us :)

    - You misunderstood. I am planning to do a Hardware Raid 5 with each shelf
    giving 3.5TB of disk. Then I need to put a Raid 0 stripe across the 3
    shelves with software to give me the ~10TB filesystem. For this which would
    be better... ccd or vimum?
