Not really. One fails and you don't notice for a while, or it takes a while

I don't have any experience with SSDs, but a general principle: ignore
what anyone says, mirror them anyway, and make lots of backups.
I'm onboard with that.

I'm told it will likely be an Adaptec 7000 series controller.
Can a controller like that handle a 6-drive RAID 10 array?
Is a hot spare handled by the controller or is it configured in the OS?
The problem with questions of that nature is that the answer is always
It depends

You definitely want to mirror, but I'd be very interested in some
statistics comparing rebuild times on a RAID5 and RAID 6 with SSD's, vs
