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
excuse me "mr. allknowingone" :P ... but you slam raid 5 in one aspect it and try to make it seem bad in ALL aspects. its read spead is a tad slower than 0, which in my book.. i like, and i will love the trade off a little bit of write speed for redundancy.. im sure alot of ppl would. in fact you would be stupid not to, but thats just my opinion.
