My thoughts were for setting the MySQL drives as a raid 10 and the other four I was thinking of putting on a raid 10 also. That would give me two raid 10 setups. In having raid 10 setups I would not really need a spare drive because if one of the raid 10 drives failed it would give me time to send them a new drive to replace it. The backup drive would be nice also. It is a tossup though.
If I go raid 0 and one of the drives fails I am screwed because all the data will be lost.
If I go raid 1 then won't the read and write speed be slower then a raid 10?
