hmm .. do i understand correctly that you're suggesting that using
raid 10 and/or hardware raid adapter might hurt disc subsystem
performance? could you elaborate on the reasons, please? it's not that
i'm against the idea - i'm just curious as this is very

somebody states something that uncommon...
