Other than the case when 2 drives failed, Raid 5 worked for me for many
years. If you are using simple mirroring though 2 drives failing will
cause the same issue. I now use Raid 6 for a little more redundancy.
Always backup your data to other storage (offsite if possible) in-case
of disaster.

Rather than my guessing, would you mind explaining your reasons? I'm
curious.

Wow, someone else who agrees with me - IMHO, if its important enough
to need raid, don't try to skimp and save a few bucks so you can lose
your data!
