This is how I have a Debian server set up. The system is on 6 SSD's. Each ssd has a small partition and a big partition. All the small partitions are set up in a 6 way RAID1 as ext2 for /boot, and the big partitions are in a RAID10,n2. This RAID10 is then partitioned with GPT to provide / /home /opt. Can't comment on the Centos part, but the method is sound.
