RE: Raid 0+1 or Raid 1+0

Jared,

Which is it? lose 10% or 50% for 0+1? I think one of your statements should say 1+0. If I think hard enough or open a book, I could probably correct it, but I thought that sounded like too much work :)

I wonder if there would be some difference in write speed with one versus
the other. The only thing I ever played with was stripe then mirror. Stripe then mirror was never a problem for me because I didn't wait around
for another drive to fail. Most software and hardware that does this also
allows you to set up hot spares.
