RAID 10 is a physical requirement of 4 Drives. As Jason stated, RAID 10 is RAID 0 (Striping) and RAID 1 (Mirroring) .
So you have 2 drives that are Stripped - If you have 2 500 GB drives Stripped the OS would see 1 1TB drive. And you have 2 Drives That are Mirroring the Stripped Drives. So, you have 4 500GB drives for a physical space of 2TB, however because of the Mirroring you loose 1/2 of that space and end up with 1TB of useable space.
*NOTE* EDITED RAID Types. Should have proof read what I wrote...
