RAID 5
RAID 5 consists of block-level striping with distributed parity. Unlike RAID 4, parity information is distributed among the drives, requiring all drives but one to be present to operate. Upon failure of a single drive, subsequent reads can be calculated from the distributed parity such that no data is lost. RAID 5 requires at least three disks.[11] RAID 5 is seriously affected by the general trends regarding array rebuild time and the chance of drive failure during rebuild.[22] Even though you should theoretically lose your data if you lose drives 1 or 2 (like in RAID 0), the RAID-controller can use parity bits along with the bits in the remaining drive to reconstruct the bits of the failed drive. Rebuilding an array requires reading all data from all disks, opening a chance for a second drive failure and the loss of the entire array.[23] In August 2012, Dell posted an advisory against the use of RAID 5 in any configuration on Dell EqualLogic arrays and RAID 50 with "Class 2 7200 RPM drives of 1 TB and higher capacity" for business-critical data.[24]
