I am looking at migrating (from a backup to externals and clean setup of a new larger array) to more drives... I understand Raid6 well, and Raid60 is new to me.
I am planning for 14 x 3Tb drives right now using one of the LSI9260-8i cards and an HP SAS expander (that I've not implemented until now) but plan to grow to perhaps 20 x 3Tb drives as required later.
I am thinking that maybe Raid6 isn't the right option, and I should be going to Raid60, although I have no need of any additional performance, just want to be sure that what I do have set up, is reliable.
The data pool is all images of machines and general downloaded drivers, iso's, etc, so nothing that cannot be lost as any actual data backups of my own PC's inhouse are just that... backups.
Value an experienced view please Team.
