Capacity: since we have 6 disks of 1.3TB, we'll have 4 * 1.33TB (5.5TB) Raid 6 array continues to operate with up to two failed drives. Our larger RAID will be more practical, because large-capacity drives lengthen the time needed to recover from the failure of a single drive. Single parity RAID levels are vulnerable to data loss until the failed drive is rebuilt: the larger the drive, the longer the rebuild will take. Dual parity gives time to rebuild the array without the data being at risk if a (single) additional drive fails before the rebuild is complete.
