Another thing that might push people away from hardware RAID controllers is the boot time (I think it's similar for all of them - but not sure) when running on standard consumer boards (does not apply for servers).
My controller needs around a minute or even more to boot (itself) and after that the Windows start loading.
I personally don't mind this but to those who want fast boot times, this can be a deal breaker (especially if you run an SSD).
