My personal experience: RAID 5 is not good for databases with a long number of transactions. If this is not your scenario it's a reasonable way of implementing. Anyway, I strongly recommend you to allocate the online and archive logs, index tablespaces and may be too the temp tablespaces in separated disks (RAID 1 for indexes and 0 for temp, for example)

Hope this help.
