Quote from the article:
In our performance charts, we show a line from two disks through
eight disks for RAID10. The first datapoint, for two disks, is
obviously a simple RAID1. The datapoints for four, six, and eight
disks are RAID10. We draw a line through all points for ease of
interpretation—but there is no three, five, or seven disk RAID10 in
the actual data, for hopefully obvious reasons.
Kind regards,
Andrei
