Performance, you’ll be requesting a RAID 0+1 (striping with mirroring)
configuration. Both give you the safety of fault tolerance. RAID 5 provides
the best combination of settings for most applications and has overhead of
only one drive’s capacity. RAID 0+1 has a write performance advantage over
RAID 5, but since the striped set is mirrored, available capacity is only half
of the total capacity in the drive set.
