I actually prefer 10 as well - but 5 does give you storage space. There' also at least one company doing "RAID 1.5" which basically does RAID 10 with just two disks (files are mirrored and striped).
It seems a natural progression to me, but I'm not sure how much support it's getting.

I prefer the raid 10 configuration. I was reading about some people working on what they were calling raid 6, which is like RAID 5, only you can have it setup such that more than one disk failure and the system is still functional. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:137058 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
