Just a point of clarification: Don't use RAID 5 for more than 2-4 TB. The rebuild takes so long that the mean-time-between read errors statistic basically guarantees a read error while rebuilding, which may cause the controller to trash the array.

That and rebuilding that much data might push one of the drives over the edge anyway.
