You bet.
A Raid 10 is basically a mirrored stripe set. So you get the benefits of the striping - widening the data path width - with the redundancy of the mirror. So theoretically a 2 drive stripe set should be able to move twice as much data in the same amount of time - both inbound and outbound versus a single drive or RAID 5. Because it is a very geometrically simple configuration - there are no ECC calculations in a RAID 10 but the extra math does bog down a RAID 5 ( on writes ) Raid 5 on reads is pretty fast (when compared to a single drive).
My 2 bits,

Would this help speed up Vantage in terms of read/write processes to the
server?

Weaver Industries is using RAID 5 which is unsupported by progress
and therefore any data corruption is billable. That's 1 for 10
RAID 10 takes 4 drives to do what RAID 5 does. That's 1 against
Our next server will have RAID 10.
