Hi there,

Software Raid 10 Is generally IMHO the best solution you can get. Stay the
hell away from Raid5/6 etc because when your disks start to get full you
end up with the System Starving of IO and bitmap recovery taking for ages.

As for the comments against the 'Green' drives, you can turn off the head
parking/minimize the spin count etc by ensuring you update the firmware on
the drives disabling these features (google it) before putting them into an
array.
