RAID 10 does not incur any hit on parity calculation/checking, which means
that the impact of software RAID isn't the same. And it is resilient to a
single drive failure because of the mirroring. If you lose multiple drives
in the same stripe you are usually ok too.
Of course, things change if you use a hardware RAID controller with a
dedicated parity processor, but those are usually pricey.
