Can anyone explain or point me to a good link or links for the differences, setups and benefits of RAID 0+1 vs. RAID 10?
the definations of each are pretty simple to understand. RAID 0+1 is a RAID 0 striped array with a single disk redundancy. RAID 10 is the same as RAID 0+1 except the redundancy is via a mirrored array. The advantage of RAID 10 is better data protection because the redundancy is Mirrored which at least doubles the redundancy. The disadvantage is that RAID 10 requires a minimum of 4 disks. Setup is dependant on the ability of the MBoard to support each type.
