A friend has asked me to build a new computer for her. She wants RAID 1.

W7 Ultimate, 64 bit

ASUS P8P67 Deluxe MB
The manual, which I have read is here. "www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1155/P8P67_DELUXE/#download" ASUSTeK Computer Inc. - Motherboards- ASUS P8P67 DELUXE
2 HDDs; 3 TB each.

4 x 2 GB ram

i7 CPU

750 W PSU

I've tried to educate myself. But, I would appreciate the opinions of other complete strangers. :)

Thanks for your time.

Yes, the motherboard has a raid controller.

Why do you recommend hardware over software?

From the cyberciti.biz link I provided:
Summary for software.

"Low cost solution
+Better for RAID0 or RAID1
+Single server / workstation
+Perfect for home and small business users.
+No vendor lock-ins"
