I guess the first question is why 2 hot spares? You don't have many
spindles, so you don't want to waste them. It might turn out that a
larger array with more spindles with outperform a smaller one with
fewer, regardless of RAID level (assuming a decent battery-backed
cache). You might try
5 RAID5
2 RAID1
1 spare
