RAID 5 is a popular RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) level, which uses distributed parity and block level striping. This RAID level attempts to remove bottleneck of dedicated parity drive. Using distributed parity algorithm, RAID 5 writes parity data across all drives. Generally the blocks are used for creating parity blocks that are then stored across array.

RAID controller malfunction
Volume reconstruction issue or RAID rebuild error

Virus infection
Missing configuration settings and system registry
