So I know what 0, 1, 5, and 0+1 are, but not 6, 10 and 50. Care to enlighten those of us who are too lazy to Google?

I don't know RAID 6 and 50 well enough to explain them, so the link will do the job. While I'm at it, they can do 10 (compare it to 0+1 to understand better)

RAID 6
RAID 10
RAID 50

... centralised storage can be RAID protected ...

By "RAID", think "mirroring" (i.e. RAID 1). Disks are cheap these days, so buying two drives (plus spares!) for each unit of storage isn't really a problem. Unless you're unlucky and have both sides of the mirror fail together, mirroring is reliable protection; I've heard too many horror stories about RAID 5 arrays to trust important data to them.
