Among the advantages of three identical hard disk drives for this setup. 5 RAID 5 RAID 5 stripes both data and parity information across three or more hard disk drives. The RAID 5 configuration is best suited for transaction processing, relational database applications, enterprise resource planning, and other business systems. Use a minimum of RAID 5 configuration include better HDD performance, fault tolerance, and higher storage capacity.
