RAID 5, just because I got so many drives

Hi.  I recently bought 10 SAS 3TB drives :D  If I'm not at all concerned about the data in the array, can I do a RAID 5 config in the array?  With 6 SAS2 drives in RAID 5 config, maybe I will be able to achieve PCIe performance?  How will I be able to use parity?  I have a Dell PercH310 with LSI SAS2008, SAS2 card in IT mode, can connect up to 8 drives.

Also note that the H310, even if flashed to RAID mode, can only create two RAID groups, you need a MegaRAID controller for more, starting with the 9240-8i and above.


That's supposed to be my next question, how many raid 0 my controller can make :-).

Thanks @Johnnie.black, there goes the project :-)
