Well, there's no such thing as raid10 with 2 drives. You need at least 4
drives for raid10. With 2 drives it would be raid1. Or raid0, but only a
fool would put important data on a raid0. ;) raid0 is best for use as a
temporary place for data processing. Raid5 is the best of both worlds, and
is the most cost effective.

OK, let me be less cryptic.

RAID5 with 3 drives, or RAID10 with two... fine, lose one drive, you're
still
OK. Forget I even said anything.

BUT... I do have to step in and complain loudly about software RAID. If you
don't care about your data, feel free to set up software RAID.

The same thing goes for Fake RAID. If you like your data and want to keep
it,
get a real controller.
