ZFS on Hardware RAID controller

[freebsd at fongaboo.com]

When we spoke, you noted that when installing ZFS on multiple disks 
connected to a hardware RAID controller, it is best to config it to JBOD.

I tried to explain this to a colleague, but they were skeptical. Would you 
(or anyone) be willing to give me a one or two line sales-pitch on why one 
should abandon traditional notions of RAID performance in favor of 
allowing ZFS to do disk management?


Thanx
