What's the best setup for 13 drives? I don't need high performance (this will be mostly for archiving media), but very much do not want to lose my data. The drives are 18TB, and ZFS will be used exclusively.

MinFail: This many failures will kill the array in the worst case.
MaxTol: This many failures can be tolerated in the best case.

mirrored raidz + HS 2x(5 data, 1 parity), 1 spare 38.5% (5) 6 + 1 4 46.2%

14 disks might be more attractive; I work that out over here.
