That's a double-edged sword. If your RAID card messes up, it corrupts everything and you lost.And this is one reason that with ANY dedicated server that I have used I chose to use hardwareRAID
instead of software.
Same here. In fact one of the old Dell servers I have as a NAS here at the house is around 15 years old and still on the original SAS drives and RAID controller card.I've not had a RAID card fail in nearly 25 years of using them. Meanwhile, I've had several drive failures, and I've used good quality enterprise drives.
And this is a providence of what?Software raid is much more popular on Linux systems compared to Windows orbMacOS, I'd even say it's the default.

For good reason because software raid on Linux works really well.
I agree software raid sucked in the old days but hardware has become so fast these days those drawbacks are close to gone now.
For me, the benefits of hardware raid don't outweigh the drawbacks and I have used software raid on my dedicated servers without any issues.

Write caches aren’t a magical feature of hardware RAID and can be done just fine with RAM + any JBOD based system…
Depends, the hypervisor can be the one to manage IO caching for example, so your guest OS would be none-the-wiser.does not get around the FSYNC speed barrier
As far as I know, they are the cheapest and most reliable hosting company.Don't really know how Hetzner compares to others
