VRTX - Raid Configuration

I have a few questions regarding configuration of a Raid array on a VRTX with (2) M620's and vcenter 5.5

  • Is there any recommedations on setting up a new raid array in a VRTX? Alot of websites seem to state Raid 10, others state Raid 6, still others Raid 5.
  • Stripe size? 64k seems to be the default but I have read that larger strip size is better
    • does 128K work
  • We have 12 drives. Should all the drives be used in one raid array and hence one virtual drive or should there be multiple raid arrays with multiple virtual disks

vCenter will mostly host about 10VM's uning linux and windows server.

I know that the confifuration depends upon a multitude of factors, I am just curious of what others are doing.

Thanks in advance for your time
