RAID10 requires at least 4 drives does it not?
Since it's a strip set of mirrored disks, the smallest configuration I can see is 4 disks, 2 mirrored pairs stripped.

I have been reading lots of stuff but trying to find out if a raid10 2drive setup is any better/worse than a normal raid 1 setup....I have to 1Tb drives for my data and a seperate system drive, I am only interested in doing raid on my data...
So i setup my initial test like this....
mdadm -v --create /dev/md0 --chunk 1024 --level=raid10 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1
I have also read about near and far but was going to play with this and was wondering if anyone had any insights for 2 drives setup...Thanks...
