| If I have 50TB of data I wouldn't risk it on a RAID 5. I'd want 2-disk redundancy or better, offsite redundancy... way to much data to leave to chance (or Intel's worthless software RAID). |

| When one disk fails, a RAID 5 array is at risk. If anything should happen to a second disk before the array was rebuilt, all data would be lost. Chances are slim, yes, but would you gamble with 50TB of data? Also, imagine how long it would take to rebuild a 50TB array. |
