  Parity disks help. Performance improvements limited to small number of disks
  ($n<10$). Good point: efficiency of striping will increase as the gap between
  CPU/memory performance and disk speed and file size widens. Reliability may
  be better if measured in terms of performing a task in time T, since the
  striped version may take less time. This gives disks less opportunity to fail
  during that period. Also consider the CPU failure mode, and its use over less
  time.}
