I have been reading lots of stuff but trying to find out if a raid10 2drive setup is any better/worse than a normal raid 1 setup....I have to 1Tb drives for my data and a seperate system drive, I am only interested in doing raid on my data... So i setup my initial test like this.... mdadm -v --create /dev/md0 --chunk 1024 --level=raid10 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 I have also read

I'm going to rebuild my system at home soon, and was planning to mirror two drives. However, I was just looking up something about RAID, and on wikipedia found some information about the Linux MD driver, and "near" and "far" RAID10. Anyone have some opinions about them? mark "or should that be how many opinions do folks have about them?"
