System Specs

If you are worried about infection of the OS simply partition the OS and swap/temp files and another for your personal data.

Why would you unplug a drive? And to answer your question yes, RAID 5 will allow for continued operation while a drive is missing, or replaced and rebuilt.

I have had to do it once on a Highpoint controller, it took 18 hours to rebuild a 1TB array with three partitions, databases and backups. Performance was degraded by about 50% while the rebuild took place.
