Hello Daniel,

RAID6 is a standard!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redundant_array_of_independent_disks#RAID_6

RAID 6 is a better solution as RAID 5 and RAID 1!
Both Systems can only live with 1 defect HDD.
RAID 6 can work with 2 defect HDDs!

Therefore it is a good question, if someone has experiences in RAID 6
for HA systems
