  compare RAID~5, Parity Striping (which was designed for TP because it avoids
  lots of seeks on medium-sized requests, by declustering parity but not data),
  mirroring, and RAID~0. RAID~5 does {\em better\/} than parity striping due to
  its load balancing ability on the skewed workload. RAID~5 also better as the
  load increases.}
