Optimal RAID configuration on 2800

I'm trying to decide on an optimal configuration for a 2800 which will be used for SQL server.

So far I'm thinking that I will order the server with:

embedded PERC controller
PERC4DC-PCI Express, 128MB Cache
10 15k 73Gb drives

I was thinking about create three arrays with three separate channels.

RAID1 off the embedded controller for the OS/Program files
2 RAID10 arrays off the PERC4DC on separate channels for the data files

Is this even possible?

x2 seagates should give approx 145mps sustaned ,provided the integated raid indeed supports
lvd protocol(dont assume by what the menu states in protocol sync)but rather evaluate your initial stripe,with decent benchmarks before evaluating final combinations,you ran run beaut on fewer seagate drives too +they really like 16 kb block settings in raid(best all rounder).
