So I already have two 4 terabyte drives, and I just bought four more 12 terabyte drives, two of them are refurbished. Their factory refurbished, but it was the only way to fit my budget. Is there an ideal way to set these up to minimize failure risk? Would it be better to have both of the refurbished drives either parity or data drives? Or maybe better to have one of them is parity and one of them data?

Or does it really matter at all? Just looking for some guidance before I get them all set up. They are Seagate Iron Wolf Pros.

Edit: to clarify I am going to be using dual parity.
