I received the hardware yesterday. There was a last minute change due
to cost. Instead of getting 4x 2TB drives I opted for 6x 1TB. This

Uh -- no. RAID10 and RAID0+1 are superficially similar but quite different

I would investigate either using more spindles if you want
to stick to RAID6, or perhaps using another RAID level if
you will be with 4 drives for a while. The reasoning
is that

Hello all,
I'm about to build a new file server using 3ware 9690SA-8E controller
and 4x Western Digital RE4-GP 2TB drives in RAID6. It is likely to
grow in the future up to 10TB. I may use FreeBSD 8 on this one, since
the release will likely be made by the time this server goes into
production.
