I have read many articles like that. They always seem to lack practicality. The notion of "RAID 5 is bad" is very misleading. It has its pros and cons just like any other RAIDs. Whether to use it is heavily application dependent.

If RAID 5 is all that bad, why is it so widely used and supported? Received on Fri Dec 02 2005 - 19:18:46 CST
