What is the recommended RAID with SSD NVMe?

Hello,

I searched the net and where I found two different opinions about RAID with SSD.

With SSD RAID 5 is fine and no need to go for RAID 10 to get better performance.

https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1471813-raid-5-vs-raid-10-for-ssd-s-in-2016

Other articles claiming that RAID 5 is deprecated and should not be used in new arrays anymore.

However, I did not find any articles speaking about the recommended RAID with NVMe.

Could you please advise.

ProLiant G10

NVMe drives are attached to the PCIe interface directly and do not have a dedicated hardware RAID engine similar to SAS controllers, therefore, RAID is only supported through the operating system software (e.g., Windows mirror, Linux MD, etc.).

Please refer document here:
