So, is it just a "standard" that hardware/software RAID setups require 3 drives for a RAID5 array? And 4 drives for RAID6?
It's padding on the sharp edges. See my earlier post - a 2 disk RAID5 is silly, use a mirror. A 3 disk RAID6 is silly, use a 3-way mirror. Both are "legal", but most vendors don't let you do it b/c you really don't want to.
