Bob Z is right, there’s no advantage to RAID 10 over 5, in fact
RAID 5 is a better choice for a number of reasons.
RAID 10 will be slower than RAID 5
RAID 10 reduces your usable capacity of your drives,
It will also slow your performance.Jon Schilling

Bobs right (of course) but as far as “future proofing” get the 1883X

Anand,
Sounds like you’re all ready to RAID 1

Anand,
I hope I understand correctly.
If one of the 2 drives you had is bad, you need to replace the bad drive before creating a RAID 1 set.

You should be fine in RAID 1 as long as you have the space & the speed to get the job done. RAID 1 over None for sure!

Bob,
Sounds like this guy is only using 2 drives, so his choices are RAID 0 or RAID 1, both poor options, but the only ones he has.
Anand, RAID 1 you will lose 1 drives capacity & 1/2 the speed of RAID 0. Bob’s right though, RAID 0 affords you no protection in the event of a drive failure. If all you’ve got is a 2 drive RAID, RAID 1 is your only real option, but the trade off is slower performance (1/2 the speed of RAID 1) & only 1 drives capacity.
I would highly recommend an external RAID with at least 8 drives in a RAID 6 configuration (for the best in protection & speed), but then again, that all depends on how important your data is to you. I always recommend having more capacity/overhead than what is needed in any particular project to my customers.

Paul,
Since nobody else has chimed in yet….
I would hope that you’ve called OWC/Macsales by now, you spent good money, they should fully support your efforts to make it work.
