Should I put my elephants in RAID 5, or should I just go with RAID 0, since they never forget?

It will eventually become an elephant graveyard, anyway, so use zfs :-P

There's a good chance you'll have a second elephant failure while the first one is giving birth to a replacement, so at least use RAID6.

Or ZFS RAIDZ2. That's also great.
