Furthermore RAID-5 needs to read the parity block, before it can update that block, so that there are 2 disc transactions more, which could explain the better performance of a single disk, too?
Or does the striping effect (inherent to RAID-5) compensate those 2 extra transactions (at least in case of sequential writes)?
