What are you wanting to get out of it? Speed, data reliability, failover, hot-swap spare? You will get none of those things from software mirroring. (Yes, I know someone will argue this point) HW mirroring will give you data reliability and failover since if one disk dies, the OS knows nothing about it and there is an identical copy of the data on the surviving disk.
