Software vs hardware RAID NAS4FREE?
Hello!
There is a server on SuperMicro X8ST3-F, the Adaptec A5805 controller is installed in it. At the moment, nas4free is running on the server for home use. The question arose what is better to do: raise hardware RAID on adaptec or software zfs in nas4free? At the moment, hardware RAID6 has been created on 5 disks. As far as I understand, in nas4free I can format a ready-made raid into zfs and use it, but I'm interested in what will be more reliable in this context of hardware and software.
The NAS will be used as a file storage, torrent server, media server.
Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

I'm for ZFS for reasons of its add. functionality. If it is not needed, the hard drive will be less cumbersome to maintain.
