I'm not a fan of RAID 5 at all since it can only tolerate one failure at
all. Go with raid 10 or something like that which is able to handle
more than one failure. Intermittent, uncorrectable sector failures
during rebuilds are becoming an increasing problem with today's drives.

You need at least 6 drives for RAID5. I don't know if Perc 4e/Di
allows configuring the RAID5.
Where did you get this bit of information? You can create a raid 5
with 3 or more disks.

3 drives is not really recommended, since if 1 dies, you'll probably
loose the whole set. Rather use min 4 drives, where 1 drive is a hot spare)
