C.2.3 RAID-5

RAID-5 arrays write strips of data across all but one member of the array. Parity for the other strips is written on the last member.

The members of the array are used in rotation for the parity data.

RAID-5 arrays offer data protection , good throughput, and require fewer disks than RAID-1.
