I tested 1+0 vers 0+1 vers 5 on the 3ware, the sun build in raid system and using softwareraid on an other (older) server. On the iscsi systems and the 3ware controller I tested raid 5 vers. 6 as well. May be I should have mentioned that. My conclusion on my systems was: Level 5 is the best concerning performance/capacity.
