Go with Jon's suggestions. The only data loss you'll suffer with software RAID is if all power is lost at once and the data that is "in flight" to the drive disappears. The hardware way with battery backup on controllers will eliminate that risk. Best of both worlds is designing a hardware RAID setup that you can layer a software RAID on top of that minimizes all those risks!

Perhaps two hardware RAID 5 arrays with hot spares and a software mirror of the two. -- Louis Richards
