Ok so this is what I have decided to do

On the array with 6 300GB drives, I have decided to use 2 drives and
create a RAID 1 out of that and use that for the Quorum (Q)

Then on the other 4, I am going to create a RAID 1+0 for Data Drive

Let me know if the is ok for production. It will be a SQL cluster

Best practices require a separate drive for the SQL logs.
