RAID Level 10

 

Mirroring and Striping across multiple RAID levels

RAID level 10 provides very high performance and redundancy.  Data is simultaneously mirrored and striped.  Can under circumstances support multiple drive failures.

Advantages

Highly fault tolerant

 High data availability

Very good read / write performance

Disadvantages

Very costly to implement

Drive spindles must be synchronised

Not very scaleable

RAID level 10

Application

Where high performance and redundancy are critical
