I have been toying around with the idea of adding a clariion cx3 array to our environment as there are several factors leading me to believe its time for a SAN. Documentation says this thing will do RAID 10 with only 2 disks. Call me a peon, but how can it do that? I'm having a tough time understanding exactly.

Partition each drive into 2 and then stripe across 2 disks and then mirror that across to the other halfs. Basically it is useless.

Useless in the form of performance or useless for fault tolerance?

I think this thread is appropriate for this question. We pulled the trigger on a new EMC Clariion SAN. Can someone reccomend me a good gigabit switch that will support maximum throughput on the iSCSI connections?
