Has anyone had experience with RAID level 5 setups (fault tolerant and striped array: 3 or more disks, 1 parity drive)?
Note: This is not the same as RAID 0+1 or RAID 10.
In particular, the RAID 5 offered in Windows 2000 Advanced Server (What I run on my server setup)? How well does it perform and is it "full function" or "entry level" RAID 5?
If you have had experience with RAID 5 setups, what happens if the single parity drive fails in your array?
I know in full function there is a parity drive as well as some parity across the entire array (correct?), but what about "entry level" RAID 5 arrays?
