Thanks Roman, but I don't have the appetite to use mdadm and have the array take forever to build or get yet another set of risks to ultimately migrate from mdadm to btrfs when raid6 is stable. It seems to me that the simplest option at present is probably to use each disk separately, formatted btrfs, and backed up to other drives. The data to be stored on these drives is largely static - video and audio library.
