Every now and then one finds oneself trying to explain technical terms to newbies (at large or to system management/hardware), or the technically challenged. RAID is one of those common topics, and even nowadays as SANs and NASs make system administrators lives easier, it is still one of the building blocks of storage knowledge.
One of my favorite technology sites, The Geek Stuff has supplied an excellently simple explanation of the difference between the different RAID levels, and a specific RAID01-RAID10 comparison, both which are worth remembering.
One additional point - As always, nothing is perfect, and for the real newbies, those explanations require some former acquaintance with the terms striping, parity, mirror and blocks... That's life, TANSTAAFL.
