Question on how Parity disks work


Recommended Posts

I still don't quite understand exactly how the parity system in Unraid works.

 

I have 8 5TB drives. I was planning on putting 6 of them into the main array, and then 2 of them into parity 1 and parity 2. 

 

Is this the proper way to set it up, then if any of the 6 main drives fail, the parity still covers the entire array?
