For things that can fit on a single drive, software raid1 has the
advantage of letting you easily recover the data from any disk that
survives any kind of disaster, on any machine with a physically
compatible controller. And if you can use a mount point layout that
distributes the load/activity across several raid sets your real-world
performance will probably be as good or better than raid10 even if the
'big sequential file' benchmarks aren't as fast.
