Figure 14. RAID-1 Enhanced, Data Strip Mirroring

Some vendors have also implemented another slight variation of RAID-1 and refer to it as RAID-10 since it combines features of RAID-1 and RAID-0. Others refer to this technique as RAID-6, which is the next available RAID level.

As shown in Figure 15, this solution consists of mirroring a striped (RAID-0) configuration. In this example, a RAID-0 configuration consisting of 2 drives (drive 1 and 2) is mirrored to drives 3 and 4.

Figure 15. RAID-6,10 - Mirroring of RAID 0 Drives

Performance and capacity are similar to RAID 1. 50% of total disk capacity is usable. However, this solution always uses an even number of disks. RAID-1 enhanced can use an odd number of disks. RAID-1 also can be mixed with others RAID levels.
