What is your reasoning behind "mdraid is not optimal for SSD/NVMe devices"?

In my experience the exact opposite is the case: hardware RAIDs are inflexible, often require proprietary tools (as is the case with the HighPoint adapters) and can't be fixed without the device/propr. driver/tools . If there's an issue with an mdraid I can fix it with any other computer and with tools I have ready on any other computer.

NVMEs generate more heat (and draw more power) when writing compared to spinning disks, and mdraid can cause quite a lot of write activity (rebuilds) that could be optimized a bit by reading&comparing before doing a write.

Otherwise and in general I agree with you, and I'm now running mdraid on the NVMe SSDs on these devices so we'll see how it works.
