If I'm buying 4โ€“6 of the cheap 24TB Seagate BarraCuda drives (7200 RPM, CMR, 512MB cache, not NAS-rated) for a TrueNAS setup, should I go with RAID 10 or RAID 6? (zerobytes.monster)

Used for media hoarding, movies, backups.

RAID 10: 48TB (with 4 drives) or 72TB (with 6)

RAID 6: 96TB (with 6)

Is RAID 6 too risky during a rebuild with these drives, or is RAID 10 the safer play even with less space?

Thoughts on this drive as well?
