Almost everybody on the group here will advocate the Raid 10 setup.

We use raid10 on production server

my test server has a raid 1 pair for server 2008R2 OS
I have a 4 drive raid 10 for the application files and work directory and a
14 drive raid 10 array for the databases - It sure is fun watching the raid
controller max out when restoring a backup from one array to the other :o)

Can anybody verify that they are using this configuration or something
similar?

RAID 10 is a must, IMHO.

I normally setup 2 - 4 drive RAID10s and split that database across the
two but I can certainly see 6 drives delivering better performance.
