As I see it, 3 disks is about the only configuration where RAID5 still does
make sense.
4 disks is a tricky spot, RAID5 already feels a bit too dangerous, but RAID6
is still not space-efficient enough.
5-disk (and more) RAID6 is the way to go, but changing from 3 disks to 5 or
more is not always justified requirements/cost/space-wise.

With respect,
