Speed! RAID0 is the fastest, faster even than single direct disk access.
If each RAID0 segment is itself a RAID5 array then bonding them together
should double the access speed, of each RAID5 segment taken separately.
This should offset some of the speed reduction from the RAID5 array
segments and the RAID5 segments, being RAID5, are more reliable than
single raw disks, thus offsetting the reliability issues of pure RAID0.
