hmm .. do i understand correctly that you're suggesting that using raid 10 and/or hardware raid adapter might hurt disc subsystem performance? could you elaborate on the reasons, please?
I think it's been fairly well beaten to death that the low-end hardware raid adapters have lousy performance. It's not until you get into the range of battery-backed disk caches with 512M+ and multiple I/O channels that hardware raid becomes competitive with software raid.
