From what I understand, to implement RAID 5, one would need a minimum of 3 disks, where 2 would be for data storage, and the third would be for the parity. But what is the maximum number of disks one can have?For example, let's say each disk is 1GB, but I have 5GB of data, would I be able to make a RAID 5 with 6 disks? Is there a mathematical maximum? 
Maximum number of disks in RAID with parity?
