RAID 10 is a great choice for database managers that need to read and write a multitude of smaller files
across the array's disks. The impressive IOPS and data protection offered by RAID 10 gives database
managers impressive reliability both in keeping files safe and rapid access.
RAID 50
RAID 50 combines RAID 0 striping with RAID 5 parity. Due to the speed of RAID 0 striping, RAID 50 improves
upon RAID 5 performance, especially during writes. It also offers more protection than a single RAID level.
Use RAID 50 when you need improved fault tolerance, high capacity and impressive write speeds.
A minimum of six hard drives is required for a RAID 50 array. A RAID 50 array with a high number of hard
drives increases the time to initialize and rebuild data due to the large storage capacity.
RAID 60
RAID 60 combines RAID 0 striping with RAID 6 double parity. Due to the speed of RAID 0 striping, RAID 60
