You can also try making mirror sets with the hardware RAID controller
and then doing SW RAID 0 on top of that. Since RAID0 requires little
or no CPU overhead, this is a good compromise because the OS has the
least work to do, and the RAID controller is doing what it's probably
pretty good at, mirror sets.
