RAID 6 (Striping with Double Parity): Similar to RAID 5 but with additional fault tolerance, RAID 6 uses two sets of parity data, allowing it to withstand the failure of two disks. This setup requires a minimum of four disks and is used in environments where data availability and integrity are critical, despite the slight decrease in write performance due to the extra parity calculations.
