Responses:

No, RAID 5 can only handle 1 drive failure. 2 drive failures and you're pretty much SOL. - Subversive Aug 25, 14:28 5
- he has 4 good drive (and needs only 3) - Danedukenuuk Aug 25, 14:31 4
  - No, a RAID 5 array with 6 drives could lose 1 drive without a problem. If it loses 2 drives, it's toast. - Subversive Aug 25, 14:33 3
    - 6 drives = - Danedukenuuk Aug 25, 14:36 2
      - Then that's not a RAID 5 array - Subversive Aug 25, 14:39 1
        
        well it's a IBM RAID 5 array from about 1995 - Danedukenuuk Aug 25, 14:45
It was RAID 5 so there's a chance it could be recovered but it's in the pro's hands right now and apparently it's not looking good -- nm - Guigue Aug 25, 14:27 3
- well then there is something else wrong - Danedukenuuk Aug 25, 14:30 2
  - Hopefully this will be a wake up call, but I doubt it - Guigue Aug 25, 14:31 1
    - like i said someone just works longer!! - Danedukenuuk Aug 25, 14:34
