Not to mention the speed increases from RAID 5 or 10.
Speed increase from RAID 10 yes, not RAID 5. http://www.miracleas.com/BAARF/BAARF2.html
RAID 5 does provide speed increases for read operations. There are still some applications where RAID 5 has its benefits. For a smaller department file server 3-4 TB drives in RAID 5 works great. The money saved can be put towards backups, etc. Having said that I use RAID 10 for most applications.
