Jared

Read below, This is your reply.

Am I correct in that the last Raid 0+1 should actually be Raid 1+0

With RAID 0+1 you immediately lose 50% of your IO capacity when a drive fails. With a 10 disk ---> RAID 0+1 <--- setup, you lose 10% of your IO capacity with a drive failure

I wonder if there would be some difference in write speed with one versus the other. The only thing I ever played with was stripe then mirror. Stripe then mirror was never a problem for me because I didn't wait around for another drive to fail. Most software and hardware that does this also allows you to set up hot spares.
