It's pretty nice, especially for databases. The only caveat is that you cannot boot off it if you use all the drives. Maybe raid3(3 drives for data)+mirror(2 disks for system) will be useful to you (since you can boot a mirrored drive). (note that geom_raid3 is not RAID3 as theoretically defined, but more like RAID4).
