Re: Raid 5: Lossless music archive server recommendations

I have a system that uses drives on all channels, eg master/slave.
and I have encountered any slowdown, by using primary and secondary disks
in the same channel.
Yes it is slower, but for me performance is good enough.

With two drives per channel, doesn't a disk failure pull down the other
drive, causing the entire array to fail, and require a reboot to bring the
degraded array back online?
