Just a point of clarification: Don’t use RAID 5 for more than 2-4 TB. The rebuild takes so long that the mean-time-between read errors statistic basically guarantees a read error while rebuilding, which may cause the controller to trash the array.
That and rebuilding that much data might push one of the drives over the edge anyway.

UNRAID for larger amounts?
