T4-1 hardware RAID mirror vs ZFS root mirror pros and cons?

edited Mar 13, 2012 10:11PM in Oracle Solaris File Systems and Disk Management (MOSC) 4 comments
Hey

I am currently setting up T4-1 hardware that is equipped with two physical drives. Out of reflex I created a ZFS mirrored root, but started thinking if it would somehow be better to use the HW RAID capability to mirror the drives and create the ZFS file system on the HW mirror?

Whats your thoughts? Performance differences, any practical differences if a drive fails and need to be swapped?

Thanks

Håkan
