If I'm running a RAID 5, do I need to leave 10% of the hard drive space free?

[QUOTE="oxband, post: 1668723, member: 39647"] I know the rule of thumb for external hard drives is to keep 10% of the hard drive open. I have a RAID 5 made up of 4 4tb hard drives. Because of how RAID 5 works, I have a shade under 12 TB to play with. Can I fill that entire space or do I need to leave 10% of that 12 free? [/QUOTE]
