Need help about SSD PCIe

Hi all,

I want to setup Server with 4 SSD PCIe ( Software - RAID 10 ) for VMWare vSphere Server.

But my friend say " There is no way to software RAID from within ESXi."

I don't understand about Storage with ESXi. I use VMWare Workstation only.

Help me,

Tks all.

Why use Raid 10?

     To protect the data from SSD failure?

     For performance?

     To have 1 datastore?

     All of the above?

The most important: To protect the data from SSD failure.

I think: performance of SSD P3700 is good, no need raid for this.

Can solve this problem?

Help me !  Thank you very much.
