RAID 10 is a combination of RAID 1 (mirroring) and RAID 0 (striping), without parity. RAID 10 is a stripe across a number of disks to provide fault tolerance and high speed data transfer. The storage capacity of a RAID 10 group is equal to the size of the disk with the smallest capacity in the array times (the number of hard disks in the array/2).

Nov 27, 2007 · The stripe size also defines the amount of storage capacity that will at least be occupied on a RAID partition when you write a file. For example, if you selected a 64 kB stripe size and you store ...

Dec 29, 2017 · There is the "stripe element" size (often referred to as "strip" size) which is the per drive size. Then there is the "stripe" size which is equal to the strip size x the number of drives in the stripe. In your case, a 4 disk RAID 10, it would be strip size x 2 because of the mirroring.

I have two 512GB SSD drives for cache acceleration. Can someone provide me with some feedback as to the optimum block stripe size? Thanks.
