Jay - incase you were unsure.
RAID 0 = stripping (the data is spread between the two drives) w/ 2 drives
RAID 1 = mirroring (one drive is a mirror of copy of the other) w/ 2 drives
RAID 0+1 = striping/mirroring (benfits of both above) w/ 4 drives
RAID 5 = stripping over 3 more drives
RAID 10 = stripped config w/ RAID 1 (same fualt tolerance as RAID 1 and higher data transfer speeds) minimum of 4 drives
