For maximum fault tolerance, what you really want is,

but, like I said, it's hard to find in hardware. The standard I linked
to calls both of these "RAID10", thus the confusion.
Ok, I see where my confusion came in... when you first referred to this,
you said that the *latter* was the more common version, but I guess you
meant the former (since you're no saying the latter is 'hard to find in
hardware')...
I forget why I even brought it up. I think it was in order to argue that
4 drives w/ spare is more tolerant that 6 drives in RAID10.
But not 6-drive RAID w/ hot spare... ;) Anyone who can't afford to add a
single additional drive for the piece of mind has no business buying the
RAID card to begin with...
