8 drive RAID 10 works very well.
chances of losing a second disk on a mirrored pair are fairly remote. with an 8KB block size, your stripe should be a multiple of 64KB, such as 128 KB, 256 KB, 512 KB or ... 1 MB.
In this fashion the oracle blocks will be aligned with the physical discs and you won't have blocks split across multiple disks.

please refer to the following article:
