For read intensive stuff Raid – 1 will be as fast as Raid – 0 but the redundancy in case of disk failure

It is used in situations where speed is of utmost importance.

RAID-5 will be a nightmare where happens many writes to database.
Mininova is actually a “read most, write rare” situtation but anyway, RAID-1 will give much more speed advantage over RAID-5

RAID-5 is quite a poor-man’s-redundacy solution. Don’t expect any performance gains on a RAID-5 setup.

RAID 10 (1+0) on large databases is generally the elegant solution.

Im surprised the SQL server is only on a RAID 1 though, I would have presumed it was a much more powerful storage system

Think about how many users they get and the income they must get from all the adverts. They have 1 advert at the top, one on the right side and a usenext client text on every torrent page.
