This doesn't change the fact that if you need to do a lot of random writes
and you need to do it quickly, avoid RAID5:ing large number of drives.

So why are scsi raid-5 systems so much better?

compared to other scsi raid-arrays, they are not 'better' for small
random writes. If they are better than ide, it's probably because of the
smaller access times for 15k rpm drives.
