Okay, so that wasn't what you were thinking of then. I haven't got anything published to back up the assertion but I haven't really noticed very much performance difference between RAID-10 and RAID-1 on non-rotational storage since the above fix. Most of my storage is non-rotational these days. > what I saw is that raid10 and raid1 performance are similar and > raid1 is a little faster. I haven't got anything published to back up the assertion but I haven't really noticed very much performance difference between RAID-10 and RAID-1 on non-rotational storage since the above fix. Most of my storage is non-rotational these days. That does assume a load that isn't single-threaded, since a single thread is only ever going to read from one half of an md RAID-1. It doesn't stripe. > so I just use raid1 at two disks conditions these years. like the > discussion here > https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/4pfonh/2_disk_ssd_raid_raid_1_or_10/ I must admit that as most of my storage has shifted from HDD to SSD I've shifted away from md RAID-10, which I used to use even when there were only 2 devices. With HDDs I felt (and measured) the increased performance. But with SSDs these days I tend to just use RAID-1 pairs and concatenate them in LVM (which I am using anyway) afterwards. Mainly just because it's much simpler and the performance is good enough. If you need to eke out the most performance this is maybe not the way. Certainly not the way if you need better redundancy (lose any two devices etc). Many concerns, performance only one of them… > I don't know if the situation is the same now.
