I tested 1+0 vers 0+1 vers 5 on the 3ware, the sun build in raid system 
and using softwareraid on an other (older) server.

On the iscsi systems and the 3ware controller I tested raid 5 vers. 6 as 
well.

May be I should have mentioned that.

My conclusion on my systems was:

Level 5 is the best concerning performance/capacity.
