Re: Is RAID 6 better than RAID 10 ?
If you are looking for data protection then go with Raid-6. Yes, Raid-6 can take a two disk hit failure and Raid-10 can only take a single drive hit failure. Raid-6 creates two parity with each data...

G.G. and John, Thanks for your posts. I'm glad I created this thread because I was pretty close to going the RAID 10 route. My goal is total data protection. I do not want to ever in the near future be...

I know this is belated, but I had to comment. Excellent reading. I recently had 2 drive fail during a power outage, home use. I have been questioning how to avoid this ever since. Thank you, very much AWS

I hate power outages. They kill more hardware than about anything, even lightning. Let me go back to that example of 24x1TB drives, RAID 6 or RAID 10. It was mentioned that RAID 10 can only lose one...

A rather biased and not very accurate description of the advantage of RAID 6 of 10. RAID 10 has one very distinct advantage over RAID 6 (or any other parity based RAID topography), and yet it's...
