7 disks with only 1 parity? I hope you keep good backups.

Yep,

The drives from my previous array (500GB models) are in a similar array on an old system, which backs up essential data from this array, and documents non-essential data, so it can be re-created if necessary.

If I lost two drives on this array, there would be no tears.
