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).
And make sure you buy enterprise level SATA disks (the 1TB models are
about $150 right now).
(You can fit 15 3.5" drives into a SuperMicro 4U 942i 760W case with the
5:3 SATA mobile racks. The 942i is also a very quiet case due to using
120mm fans inside.)
