Using BerkeleyDB via 1GB LAN and RAID5

Hello,
we are planning to buy new hardware and consider to separate the
computing and storage. This would mean:

Box A: Much RAM and CPU where BerkeleyDB shall roam
Box B: Raid-Server connected to A via 1GB LAN

The documentation suggests not to do this, does this also account for
fast lans?

I've read that Raid 5 Systems have poor write performance but do well
on reading. Does anyone have experience with on or the other (or both)
that is: Separate storage via LAN and/or using RAID5 instead of RAID1
or RAID0?

Best regards,

Peter
