This perfectly normal. Why are you using RAID 1+0 and not RAID 5? Just curious.
Performance and redundancy ... I've been using 3 drive 1U boxes for awhile now, and have not been happy with RAID5 ... my latest box had one drive fail, and until I reformated the box without the failed drive (RAID1), I had endless troubles with the server's stability. It was the first time I had taht sort of problem with RAID5, but one of the many reasons I went with the HP DL360 G4P was that it came with 4xSAS drives instead of 3xSCSI, so that I could move away from RAID5 ... the remote console and power weighed heavily too (gotta love installing FreeBSD without a monitor/keyboard attached, straight from configuring the RAID controller, straight through to initial login, all at the hardware level) ...
