I'm really sorry. I've mixed RAID1 with RAIDZ1 that means RAID5.
Sorry for that. Let's talk about 'standard raids': I mean RAID1

I'm trying to say that the current Lindsay solution could be better (AFAIK):
Instead of using a single RAID10, where in case of a "mirror" failure 
you have to resync the whole node from the network (24TB in my example),
a RAID1 solution (with 6 RAID1) is better. In case you loose a mirror, 
you have to resync only that mirror from network because.

Instead of having a plain replicated setup:

server1:brick1, server2:brick1, server3:brick1

you'll have:

server1:brick1, server2:brick1, server3:brick1
server1:brick2, server2:brick2, server3:brick2
server1:brick3, server2:brick3, server3:brick3

In a distributed replicated setup.

Each brick is a RAID1 mirror. The aggregation like a RAID-0 is made by
