DL380 G8 client wants RAID 10

[George Streeter]

Is there a controller card that even does RAID 10 anymore?  I asked HP but was given an incorrect answer.  According to quickspecs the 420i does not do RAID 10.  The kicker is he would like 4T of useable space.  Thanks.

The terms RAID 10, RAID 1+0 and RAID 0+1 are sometimes used interchangeably in various literature.  If you care about the difference between 1+0 vs. 0+1, it's always best to explicitly describe what you mean, because others might be using a different definition.

All SmartArray controllers (even software-based ones) can do RAID 1+0, which is defined by HP as building a RAID 0 set out of two or more RAID 1 pairs. To my understanding, this is what is usually meant by "RAID 10".
