I have been reading a lot of warnings about Raid-6 becoming less and less safe to use due to the storage amount per disk as well as array sizes increasing.

What are the best practice limits/when does it make sense to take the economical hit of using Raid-10 instead? (at which size)

We are considering these disk combinations: Hotstorage:

  • 10x4TB SSDs

Coldstorage:

  • 10x10TB HDDs
  • 15x10TB HDDs
  • 12x12TB HDDs

Raid-6 would save us a lot of money, yet is it safe to use at those sizes in terms of normal failures and rebuild times.

Thanks
