RND P6610

Ah, ok I've learnt something:
"The ReadyNAS uses the software RAID and LVM *data formats* primarily to retain compatibility with standard linux tools. This is handy for recovery operations.
It accelerates the process by using the hardware XOR module built into the processor to compute and move large amounts of parity data at once instead of using general purpose CPU loops. So, I consider it "hardware accelerated RAID", since the XOR data handling process is typically the part of software RAID that bogs everything down. ", from a post in 2006 by bhoar
