Hi, If you wish to use raidz then I suggest you create groups of 5 or 6 drives per raidz set. If you were to have two disk failures in a large array you could loose the entire pool if a spare was not available. If you have groups then you still get the same performance because zfs will perform aggregation over the sets and still gains higher availability in the event of multiple failures. Raidz2 is also a good choice which would grant a two disk failure tolerance in any giving set.
