That's funny. In my first post I specified two different methods based on
the type of RAID.

If you are using hardware RAID, then use five of the drives in a RAID5 and
the sixth as a spare.
If you are using software RAID, you can't boot from RAID5 so there I would
suggest using a mirrored RAID1 for the system and the remaining four drives
