I have a six disk RAID-5 array that I run using embedded Linux (coLinux) to serve the array up using Samba to my Windows XP OS. I've been doing this for a number of months (the dark tale is explained at: http://a1.blogspot.com/2005/08/step-by-step-to-windows-raid-using.html), and have had no data corruption - even when the machine has crashed due to Windows or Power issues. Array runs fast enough to serve video files and watch them - though more commonly I am just copying files around. Write times are nothing to brag about, but they aren't horrible.
