]RAID-5 gives poor write performance

For us, the performance was not "poor". We looked at the cost of Mirror, vs RAID-5, and the performance difference, and went RAID-5. Yes, RAID-5 writes are slower than Mirror writes, but I could not describe the result as "poor".

We found ardware RAID-5 faster than software.

This wasn't on NT though.
