whoa whoa whoa... pull the mis information bus over to the side of the road and come out with your hands up!

Raid 5 is "so much better" than RAID 0? Explain that one to me!?

RAID 5 is SLOW.. wicked slow on write times, and terribly intensive on your controler cards ram, if it doesnt have ram.. then the write speed will be about where a single drive would be and you will have terrible CPU usage.

Better as in redundant? Yep I will give you that... But speed HELLLLL NOOOO
