Any advantage of recovering with 6 drives vs 5 drives?

[miogpsrocks]

Hello. 

I believe my readynas device has issues but the actual hard drives are good. 

I have like an RAID5 type array. 

If I am using a raid recovery software, is there any advantage to recovering with 6 drives vs 5 drives? 

Thanks.

If the drives are all solid, then it would be faster to recover with all drives.  The recovery software wouldn't need to reconstruct any data blocks from the parity blocks.
