RAID 5 should be no where near a database server now-a-days; use RAID 1 or
preferably RAID 10.

Each file spawns a thread out to the OS so yes there is benefit; you have to
be aware that the two threads will be doing async io so on a poor io
subsystem or one that is loaded you can actually hurt performance by doing
it.
