Raid 3, 4, and 5 (and maybe6?) are all at risk to data corruption:

viral_Ahire,
"Advantage and Disadvantage of RAID 5" as opposed to what? To what do you want us to compare RAID 5?

Hardware redundancy is no substitute for software backup.
esaym,
Why isn't RAID 1 on that list too? I went to the BAARF site & it all looked 5 old ==out-of-date, & very 1-sided -- the only obviously pro-RAID paper cited is apparently 20 yrs. old (http://www.miracleas.com/BAARF/Patterson88.pdf)
