Any controller that claims RAID10 on a server with 6 drive bays should

tolerance).
So,
A B C
A B C
and not,
A B
A B
A B
The former gives you more space but slightly less fault tolerance than
four drives with a hot spare.
Sorry, don't understand what you're saying.
Are you talking about the difference between RAID1+0 and RAID0+1?
If not, then please point to *authoritative* docs on what you mean.
Googling on just RAID10 doesn't confuse the issues like you seem to be
doing (probably my ignorance though)...
