Raid 5 nearly useless… not so fast

It seems that a lot of people seem to be having issues with the post from ZDNet talking about how RAID 5 & 6 are useless and are going to stop being viable in the near future. I tend to agree with the guys over at the [H]ardOCP forum. Not only do some of them have 12TB+ arrays in their homes, a lot of them them also work for hosting companies which I’m sure eat storage like a fat kid eats cake.
