And I should mention that I have a boot drive (500gb SATA) so I dont have to
consider booting from the RAID, I just want to use it for storage.

Subject: [zfs-discuss] RAID10
Hi All,
I am looking at ZFS and I get that they call it RAIDZ which is similar to RAID
5, but what about RAID 10? Isn't a RAID 10 setup better for data protection?
So if I have 8 x 1.5tb drives, wouldn't I:
- mirror drive 1 and 5
- mirror drive 2 and 6
- mirror drive 3 and 7
- mirror drive 4 and 8
Then stripe 1,2,3,4
Then stripe 5,6,7,8
How does one do this with ZFS?
You don't, because your description is insane. You mirror each pair,
then "stripe" each mirror, not the drives in the mirror (not really a
stripe in ZFS, but...)
zpool create mypool mirror 1 5 mirror 2 6 mirror 3 7 mirror 4 8
Relpacing the numbers with the actual device names
