I looked up RAID6 and see the addition or a parity bit.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_RAID_levels#RAID_6
RAID 10 is also something I looked at. Striped, then Mirrored
So:
8 x 1.5tb = 12tb
RAID 5 = 12tb - 1.5tb for parity data = 10.5tb space available
RAID 10 = 4 x 1.5 = 6tb - 1.5tb for parity data = 4.5tb per stripe then mirror it.
but with RAID 10, data is safe after many types of failures.
