Raid 10 or 1+0 on RH AS3 ?

Hi,
Is anyone running linux rh as3 with raid 10 ? Do not think it should be an issue but wanted to ask the question. Certainly hope for better performance than raid 5.

Any fans or comments on raid 1+0 appreciated.

Thanks, Steve.

RAID 1+0 is slightly faster than RAID 5. Both schema have identical redundance in standard configurations. RAID 1+0 costs more disks, and therefore is more expensive than parity based RAID 5.

I personally use RAID 10 or 0+1 whenever possible. The difference in cost between 3 drives(RAID 5) and 4 drives(RAID 10) ain't much in my opinion. Might as well have the speed, if you're going to bother with it in the first place.

Hi Thoreau,
Many many thanks for the reply. Am glad to hear response time is faster than raid 5 and it is working for you on RH !
