As another computer geek

An even more fault tolerant flavor is RAID 10 (really 1+0). Here multiple RAID 1 drives are all mirrored. In this case, however, it would require eight drives. 4 data + 4 mirrors. You can lose half the array (so long as you don't lose both a primary and its mirror) and it still runs.

Another advantage to RAID 10 is that the drives don't have to be striped. You can run the OS on one drive pair and the data on the others. In that way, even if there is a total failure, you don't necessarily lose both the OS and the data.
