I found a benchmark from 2008 that details the problems with RAID10 and sourced it in a comment above [1]. These are just raw disk transfer numbers, though. I can only imagine how they would change as CPU usage/postgres load climbs. IIRC disk IO is network traffic and network traffic is CPU dependent, so as load increases, IO will suffer greatly.
