I'm not sure if speed is an issue here since all backups are taken
over night.
I'm using RAID5 at home across 4x500GB drives to backup our home
machines and another across the internet. Space efficiency was more
important to me than speed and I don't have any problems using RAID5.
So it really depends on your use case and priorities. (Not all of us
are backing up 100 laptops in a corporate environment!)
