old one is still good I'd go for a 3-disk raid-5 plus spare. That's my
current setup.
Eww. Don't do that. Always convert raid5+spare to raid6.
At the moment the fourth drive is, in my mind, a transient backup. I
don't want to make it an actual part of the array in case I want to
remove it.
I'm thinking of getting a second matching drive, but seeing as I've
bought 16TB of drive space in the recentish past, another 8TB seems
excessive :-)
