EMC Recommended RAID Configuration

Hi,

I would like to know the recommended number of disks on RAID 5, RAID10 and RAID 6 for VNXe. We will be using Pool. I understand the following and would like to know more detail....

RAID 5 - 4+1, 8+1, and then ???? (can we have 6+1?) I also heard that RAID 5 uses multiple of 5. If so, why we have 8+1??

RAID 10 - 2+2, 4+4, and then ????

RAID 6 - 4+2, 6+2, 12+2 and then ????

Please correct if I have wrong number of RAID. Again, this is for VNXe. EMC Recommended SATA drives to use with RAID 6 even if 1TB, correct?

Thank you,

Ramesh
