Note that RAID-1 is the second worst-case for mail server performance -- it accelerates reads (if you have mirror load-balancing), but all writes are required to be held until complete on both disks. The only worse case would be RAID-5, where you have to write (or re-write) an entire RAID block at once, plus the parity information.

What is a good raid level for a maildir IMAP server? RAID 10 (or 0+1 as others call it).
