Mirrored-Striping (RAID 0+1, or RAID 10) A Mirrored-Striping Set does just what it says, combining both Striping and Mirroring technologies to provide both the performance enhancements that come from Striping and the data availability and integrity that come from Mirroring. When data is written to a Mirrored-Striped set, instead of creating just one virtual disk as Striping would do, a second, Mirrored virtual disk is created, as well.
