Why not Raid-5 for exchange?

        RAID1 is hardware mirroring.  Your current RAID controller should
support it.
         
        here's a link on the different RAID levels

                In the discussion on server sizing for Exchange 2000 it was
mentioned by several that I should be looking at getting away from using
RAID5 for my OS, the application as well as the log files. Mirroring was
mentioned quite often as how it should be configured. How are people doing
this? In the past, we have tried using mirroring that comes with NT and have
had pretty poor results. Is there some sort of hardware mirroring similar to
the hardware RAID that I am using now?
                 
                I do not see us reconfiguring our existing 5.5 servers to
accomplish this but I do want to make sure that I have our 2000 optimally
deployed.
