Thanks to Pat, Paul, Jim (sorry if I missed somebody)

The conclustions are:

Ok for RAID5 but performance can be slowly reduced while write
operations (parity needs to be calculated). About security, there is
of cault a good fault tolerance.

Performance can be improved by enabling write-back caching and boosting
the amount of cache in the controllers.
