ICH10R and 3+ RAID 0

[kppanic]

Hello,

with only ICH10R, would there be a tangible benefit to going 3+ drives in RAID 0?
My 2 drive WD500GB Black is not as fast as I had hoped.

Also, is it possible to have multiple array types with ICH10R? Would be nice to have a RAID 0 and a RAID 1 going on, or would a RAID 10 or 01 take care of this?

Cheers.

Yes and yes.

If you want to do RAID 0 and RAID 1 on the same drives, you prolly have to use even numbers of drives. Can anyone verify that for me.

I know that Raid 0+1 has to be 4 drives.

I'm pretty sure you would need 4 drives for a 10/01 setup. Why not just with RAID5?
