Re: Optimal configuration of Xiotech Magnitude for RMAN backups

RAID 10 could be the way to go...but you get only 50% of total capacity. If you have storage cache (with write-back option) big enough, I would also test RAID5 if the backup time is acceptable for your needs and estimated future db growth.
