Well don't get RAID 10 confused with RAID0+1. With RAID10 your stripped set wouldn't fail unless both drives of a single mirrored set failed, since RAID 10 is a stripped set of mirrored drives. RAID 1+0 is two stipped sets mirrored together and here one of the stripped sets would fail if a single drive failed.

of places that use the RAID 6 or RAID ADG in a mirrored
configuration. It is not a fast or speedy solution. Remember
that RAID 6 or RAID ADG is the SLOWEST RAID as far as performance is
concerned. With RAID 10 you still open yourself up to vulnerability when a
drive fails on your stripeset which causes your stripeset to fail. Since
it is mirrored you are fine unless you have a failure on your mirrored
stripeset. Personally, I don't like to use RAID 0 at anytime because it
has no resiliency when it comes to disk failures. I would rather have the
RAID 5 at a minimum for any single disk LUN and then use RAID 1 for additional
redundancy. But generally I work with companies that are willing to spend
the money for that configuration along with having controllers with the maximum
read/write cache to compensate for the speed.</span></font></div>
