Yes it does from what I understand. But I have no direct experience in
that config. If you want speed, RAID0. Speed and reliability, RAID10. Our
internal win2k SQL server runs RAID 10. It cut our month end billing run
time by 50% when we moved it to the RAID10 set from a single 10K RPM SCSI
drive. If you want to see what the config looks like on FreeBSD, I can send
you a PDF of the various pages off list.
