Raid 10 still leaves you vulnerable to a second drive failure. I'd personally jump from a multiple parity scheme to at least raid 5+1 without ever stopping at 1+0.

(Though probably something with checksums instead of naked redundancy.)

Using FreeNAS I have 4x4TB drives. 2 mirror sets that are mirrors of each other. Only 7.25TB total space but I am not to worried about a failure. Disk are cheap, loosing 16 years of family photos, not so much.
