Appendix B: Selecting the Best RAID Level ● 156 RAID 10 Logical Drives A RAID 10 logical drive is built from two or more equal-sized RAID 1 logical drives. Data in a RAID 10 logical drive is both striped and mirrored. Mirroring provides data protection, and striping improves performance. Drive segment size is limited to the size of the smallest disk drive in the logical drive. For instance, a logical drive with two 250 GB disk drives and two 400 GB disk drives can create two mirrored drive segments of 250 GB, for a total of 500 GB for the logical drive, as shown in this figure. Disk Drive 1 250 GB Drive Segment Size (Smallest Disk Drive) Disk Drive 2 250 GB Disk Drive 3 400 GB Disk Drive 4 400 GB Disk Drives in Logical Drive Disk Drive 1 1 3 ... 499 Disk Drive 2 2 4 ... 500 Disk Drive 3 1 3 ... 499 Disk Drive 4 2 4 ... 500 Unused Space = 150 GB Unused Space = 150 GB RAID 10 Logical Drive = 500 GB
