I too do not understand why vendors push RAID 5 when RAID 10 is clearly more profitable. I speculate that they may be afraid of being accused of overselling when PHB's discover the RAID 10's they just purchased could have been RAID 5's for less money.

I'm curious now. Pictures required.

Meanwhile I have never understood why storage vendors would prefer selling RAID5 over RAID10. More disks=more profit surely? Also 10 > 5 therefore self evidently twice as good for all applications. Meanwhile we have this strange situation where performance consultants are publicising the fact that you have less need for performance consultants with RAID10 than with RAID5.
