How about for database? In particular postgresql. How bad would RAID 5 be for it? I still have some, limited, hopes I can convince the owner of the company to go with RAID 10 with 10K rpm drives.. the most likelyhood we will go with RAID 5, 7200rpm drives for a database project ahead. Alternatively I will see how RAID 5 with 10K rpm SCSI drives compares price wise, but I am sure it will be substantially more. :-(
