RAID 10

RAID 10 is a combination of striped and mirrored arrays for fault tolerance

and high performance.

When drives are configured as a striped mirrored array, the disks are

configured using both RAID 0 and RAID 1 techniques, thus the name RAID

10 (see Figure 4). A minimum of four drives are required to use this

technique. The first two drives are mirrored as a fault tolerant array using

RAID 1. The third and fourth drives are mirrored as a second fault tolerant

array using RAID 1. The two mirrored arrays are then grouped as a striped

RAID 0 array using a two tier structure. Higher data transfer rates are

achieved by leveraging TwinStor and striping the arrays.

In addition, RAID 10 arrays offer a higher degree of fault tolerance than other

types of RAID levels (such as RAID 1 and RAID 5), since the array can

sustain multiple drive failures without data loss. Please note that if both halves

of a mirrored pair in the RAID 10 array fail, then all of the data will be lost.
