So, I'm looking at hardware raid 5 controllers. From this list, You could use graid3(8) - it has data+parity components like raid5. I've been using it for more than a year now and didn't have problems with it. Didn't have to try recovery from a dead disk also, but should work ok. It's like "regular" RAID3 but uses sector-sized data chunks.
