Looking at the pros and cons of both raid5+spare and raid10, I've
decided to configure as a raid10.
>From researching both, I think raid10 wins in read/write performance and
the ability to withstand multiple, simultaneous drive failures. Also it
doesn't suffer as much performance degradation after a failure as does
raid5.
Thanks everyone for your input :)
