If you’re getting used drives I’d recommend running the array in raid z2 or raid 6 for more parity drives

Raid 6 takes longer to rebuild but not twice as long, more like 45-50% longer. And raid 5 can’t tolerate another drive failure during the rebuild. With new drives I do use raid 5 (z1), but with used drives I’d want that extra assurance.
