What??? The whole point of this thread has been the speed of various
RAID options. How on earth does the fact that RAID 5 requires three
drives over RAID 1's two drives (duh) have any effect on my statement

I was starting to think I was completely off base here, but now I'm
thinking very much otherwise.
