I agree about software RAID – I use it exclusively myself. Also, nice to know that an array can be recovered, even though it would seem to be a reasonable thing to assume, it is good to know that it is possible.
But my point was that:
1. You still have some lost data.
2. An RAID5 array which breaks in this way must be manually rebuilt, possibly from a rescue boot media. Your server will no longer even boot up by itself.
