Personally I’d go with raid-6. This does indeed sound like a heat issue, as the failure rate goes up dramatically as heat increases. Raid-6 is only one more drive than raid-5, and although you may incur a slight performance hit over raid-5 for writes, random read performance may improve slightly. At any rate, the single extra drive is worth the cost of keeping your data safe imho.

My 2 cents;
In my experience, you’ll get much better performance from the lower-mid range HDS solutions (such as the AMS line) than from Compellent. Yes, their management software is nice and simple, but HDS is fast and very scalable.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
