I'm curious why your reads were so much faster on the RAID10. All else being equal, I'd expect to see the writes faster on RAID10 vs. RAID5 (once your cache is exceeded), but not the reads. I suspect there was something else affecting the numbers other than just the RAID level. As with pretty much everything else, the correct answer on the RAID5 vs. RAID10 question is - it depends.
A couple other important factors that are often overlooked are that RAID5 can only tolerate a single disk loss while RAID10 can survive multiple failures, and RAID10 will still perform well in the event of a failure but performance will be severely impacted on the RAID5 until it is repaired.

Brandon
