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
