I'd go for 6 or 7 drives to allow a RAID 5 or RAID 6 array. Our new backup array at work used 18TB drives (Western Digital Red Pro NAS) and we had several failures in the first 6 months. RAID allowed us to simply swap the failed drive and then the array rebuilt itself. Not exactly fast but all automated. With it's full 12 drives, gave us about 170TB of usable storage over a 10GB fibre connection.
