yes, exactly – but why do you need 16TB – you have huge amounts of data of what?

Not sure if I understand your question but is this what you mean?
RAID 5 (block-level striping with distributed parity) distributes parity along with the data and requires all drives but one to be present to operate; the array is not destroyed by a single drive failure. Upon drive failure, any subsequent reads can be calculated from the distributed parity such that the drive failure is masked from the end user. However, a single drive failure results in reduced performance of the entire array until the failed drive has been replaced and the associated data rebuilt.

  Colin,
  I run a raid 5 set-up on16TB of data and wouldn't trust anything to the cloud or its manipulators, at least with my set up if a disk goes down all I have to do is replace it and the system rebuilds its self with no loss of data
