Take a
look at http://www.acnc.com   
Choose the raid.edu item on their menu bar (I think this brings you to <A href="http://www.acnc.com/04_00.html">http://www.acnc.com/04_00.html ) .    Read the explainations.

  Admitting ignorance here.  What
  is the difference between Raid 0+1 and Raid 1+0  (is this   mirroring)?  If someone can forward a website that describes the   difference I would really appreciate it.   Thanks <FONT

    You could also mention that when you have     to resilver on RAID 1+0 after a disk     fails, you only have to resilver one     disk.
    On RAID 0+1 you have to resilver all the     disc in the stripe.

| |For e.g, if

    you have a 2-way striped mirrored volume, <FONT face=Arial     size=2>|when you lose 1 drive in the volume, with RAID 0+1 you
|will lose 50% of the logical volume's I/O
    capacity, as |the whole member of the     logical volume is shot, |because the     stripe becomes totally invalid. With a <FONT face=Arial     size=2>|comparable configuration using RAID 1+0, you will lose
|only 25% of your logical volume's I/O capacity.
| <FONT face=Arial

    size=2>|When the striped volume is a 4-way stripe, again with
|1 drive loss, with RAID 0+1 you will lose 50%
    of I/O |capacity versus with RAID 1+0,     you will only lose 12 |1/2 %. As your     stripe-width increases, the percentage <FONT face=Arial     size=2>|loss in the I/O capacity for RAID 1+0 decreases. <FONT     face=Arial size=2>| |You should (when     possible) consider using RAID 1+0 any <FONT face=Arial     size=2>|day when compared to RAID 0+1.
