There is no need to write anything new about that subject. All is
already available on Wikipedia, raid.wiki.kernel.org and so on.
What I wrote above is simply derived from the definition of the RAID
levels :
A RAID 1 array of N disks provides fault tolerance for up to N-1 disks.
A RAID 6 array provides fault tolerance for up to 2 disks.
N-1 (RAID 1 fault tolerance) >= 2 (RAID 6 fault tolerance) if N >= 3
