I would advise against RAID5 if performance is what you're after. RAID5 is known to be slow because of its design.
The answer also cannot be that simple, unless we know the DB type and the typical usage. You should also pick the best hardware based on the response, as you need to plan capacities.

Hello,
I am supposed to check the RAID health of a system but when I type metastat it says "there are no existing databases"
Does this mean that there is no RAID configured at all? Is there any other utility I should try?

BANTOOL-RATBOX(8) System Administration Commands BANTOOL-RATBOX(8)
NAME
bantool-ratbox - Tool used to manage the ban database of the ratbox ircd server.
SYNOPSIS
bantool-ratbox -h
bantool-ratbox -i [-f DBFILE] [-s] [-p] [-d] [-w] [-v] [OLDCONFDIR]
bantool-ratbox -e [-f DBFILE] [-s] [-v] [OLDCONFDIR]
bantool-ratbox -u [-f DBFILE] [-s] [-v]
DESCRIPTION
bantool-ratbox is a tool used to import, export, and update the ban database. The import/export operation is useful when migrating from an
old ircd ratbox server. It can also be used to redistribute ban lists and create backups. The upgrade operation should be done whenever the
ircd server is upgraded.

Import the (old) configuration files into the database.
-e
Export the database content into configuration files.
-u
Upgrade the database.
-f DBFILE
Set the database file (defaults to /etc/ircd-ratbox/ban.db).
-s
Reclaim empty slack space the database may be taking up.
-p
Dry run, checking configuration, but without touching the database.
-d
Allow redondant entries (unlike what the help screen pretends).
-w
Completely wipe the database before importing.
-v
Verbose mode (only useful for debugging).
OLDCONFDIR
Set the (old) configuration directory (defaults to /etc/ircd-ratbox).
