Backup server, HP middle range, 12x12TB drives, long writes, write performance is kind of important but so is space, 2-3 drives can be used for redundancy.

RAID 50/3, RAID 6 or RAID 50/2?

It will be used by Windows-based system :)

Bad luck :-)
I prefer RAID 6, but I've left mechanical drive behind.
@Thew Raslletem Ended up choosing it as well because apparently I don't have enough time to properly test several. Still curious what real life difference would be between 6 and multistriped 50...

I would leave spinning drives behind as well we are not that rich to put backups on SSD :)
