Technically that should work, but AFAIK no one has posted any anything with 8 TB drives. The new seagate coming out is designed for archival (e.g., cold storage), so its performance in a NAS is unknown.

Generally most people would want go to jbod in these cases - 2 RAID-1 volumes with 4z6TB drives would give you 12 TB of storage. You can get the same amount with 4x4TB xraid.
btw 4x5TB ought to work with xraid, the volume size would be 15 TB.
You lose automatic expansion (and RAID protection/bit-rot recovery if you choose jbod).
