If I had bought the 6 bay machine I'd be using raid 7, but with the 5 bay box I'll likely use raid 6. My Drobo is set up to allow two discs to fail, and I like the extra redundancy. The only thing I wish I had been able to do was buy discs a few months to a year apart so that if the manufacturer has a bad batch of drives I won't fund out about it by having all the drives fail at once.
