I have no experience with that raid card, most of our larger systems use external SAN storage, but I will say that, IMHO, is a very large raid-6. we usually don't make single raid sets much large than 7-8 drives, and for a very large storage system, will stripe multiple raid5/6 sets rather than have one huge one.
Would that I had such luxuries. This is a university lab with needs for massive amounts of data and not much money with which to do it.
Wouldn't striping a bunch of raid6 volumes give you about the same amount of space?
