I think anyone who uses 2+tb drives in a six bay device and does not use dual redundancy is crazy, but that is just me.
as already previously mentioned, with single redundancy and very large arrays;
1) that is a crap ton of data
2) whenever a disk is swapped and/or a resync is going on, your data is vulnerable.
3) if you have 8tb+ and its not backed up, and a 2nd disk fails during a resync/rebuild/expansion, you are F'd with a capital F.
dual redundancy is the only way to go, even with 6x 2tb drives.
Anyone who uses single redundancy, *and* has no backup, gets no sympathy from me when all their stuff disappears.
