Software RAID, simply because it's the only way they can fit everything into a USB thumb drive the size of a pack of Wrigley's chewing gum.
Real, actual, hardware RAID requires a fully dedicated controller designed for said purpose, along with its own RAM cache and heatsinks. Example 1 Example 2 I'd like to see these clowns attempt to shrink-ray one of these server cards into something small and power-efficient enough to run off USB 3.0.
I don't have enough money or space to put them in a server like I'd like to, so for now they're just in my PC. I did have to get myself a RAID card though, which will someday be taken out and go in a proper server.

$20 cheaper, not in an external case (less effort, easier to return if it goes bad)
Also, if you're serious about storage, spend the money on a good hardware RAID card. This card is what I use.
