RAID 5 (striping with distributed parity):
For RAID 5 the drives work independently and the parity blocks are stored across all HDDs. In case of
failure of one HDD data can be restored via XOR conjunction of the remaining blocks with the parity
block. Advantage is faster, distributed reading access, but writing is slower than for an individual
HDD, since writing is always combined with updating parity.
