Hardware RAID vs Vinum?

[Marc G. Fournier]

Why one over the other?

The main advantage I see to Vinum is that it makes doing stuff like
firmware upgrades on a hard drive alot easier, since you see all the
drives ... but, does paying a couple of hundred extra for a RAID
controller give me any major advantages over that?
