I would skip right over raid 6 and use ZFS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS

And extremetech is a crap website. They reprint old news everyday, or the article is garbage.

The original article is pretty much just an update to this: http://blog.backblaze.com/2009/09/01/petabytes-on-a-budget-how-to-build-cheap-cloud-storage/
