Yah, RAID-6 at a minimum, I wouldn't depend on RAID-5, even with a hot-spare. So to get 10TB, you'd need 13 drives (10 data, 2 parity, 1 hot-spare).
2TB drives are available for ~$300-$400 each. Eight 2TB disks would provide 10TB of RAID6 storage with a hot spare, which could all fit in a 2U enclosure or a smaller desktop case than a 13 or 16 bay case.
