You do not want to implement any form of raid in software. You want to buy
raid hardware. Raid hardware is sold by storage manufacturers, such as EMC
etc) and system manufacturers, such as SUN, Compaq etc. It is not at all
time consuming to implement or maintain, though as Howard says the absolute
optimum raid system will be expensive (relatively) in terms of disks.
