What is software RAID?
A simple way to describe software RAID is that the RAID task runs on the CPU of the computer system. It is a built-in function on many operating systems that can convert the disks connected to the server into a RAID array. All you need to do is to connect the drives and configure the desired RAID level.
What are the PROS and CONS of software RAID? PROS： Low cost; Easy to install; Same RAID driver can be implemented to the same operating system; If the processor performance is strong, it can easily handle RAID 0 and RAID 1.
CONS: Increasing the burden of the computer operating system; Replace a failed disk is relatively complicated; Limited to the RAID levels supported by a specific operating system; Performance will significantly decrease with complex RAID configuration, etc.
