    RAID0, 1 10 are really the only RAIDs that can increase performance, RAID1 should give you increased read performance, but no change in write. Any kind of parity RAID, i.e. 5, 6, will reduce performance, but you don't want RAID5 for 3 disks that are over 1TB. I'd set up a RAID1 for the two 8TBs. If your data is important, you'd want to go with a real RAID card for Windows, or move the host OS to Linux and use software RAID. FakeRAID + Windows = eventual data loss. Also, remember RAID is not a backup, you still want backups for important data. Vbox is not a server VM solution.
