By the way, RAID 10 is not a mirrored set of Raid 5. Just for the sake of a memory jog on my part, here are all of the RAID levels:
RAID 0: non-redundant striping of drives RAID 1: drive mirroring (always an even number of drives) RAID 2: byte striping with moving parity (obsolete) RAID 3: byte striping with a fixed parity drive (obsolete) RAID 4: block striping with a fixed parity drive (obsolete) RAID 5: block striping with striped parity RAID 6: block striping with dual parity stripes (allows two drives to fail) RAID 1+0 or RAID 10: Mirrors of RAID 0 stripes (always an even number of drives) RAID 0+3 or RAID 35: Striped RAID 3 (obsolete) RAID 0+5 or RAID 50: Striped RAID 5 RAID 1+5 or RAID 51: Mirrors of RAID 5 strips The last one is a play on "area 51", but it's the most fail-safe of all of the RAID levels, used by military and extremely wealthy ignorants that believe data loss only comes from failed hardware. > I don't like RAID50, at least how it was configured in one of > the links you provided.
