It's clearly not necessary.  I use RAID-5 mainly due to inertia; all my
storage was set up in RAID-5 (for low-value) and RAID-6 (for high value)
arrays before I started messing with Tahoe.  I restructure the storage
occasionally for various reasons and so sometimes my node may be on non-RAID
storage, and sometimes not.  It depends on what's more convenient for the
rest of my needs.
