Raid10 provides excellent performance and if performance is a priority then I recommend it, but I was under the impression that resiliency was the priority, as raidz2/raidz3 provide greater resiliency for a sacrifice in performance.
Why are people talking about "RAID-5", RAID-6", and "RAID-10" on this list? This is the zfs-discuss list and zfs does not do "RAID-5", "RAID-6", or "RAID-10".
Applying classic RAID terms to zfs is just plain wrong and misleading since zfs does not directly implement these classic RAID approaches even though it re-uses some of the algorithms for data recovery. Details do matter.
