This looks like exactly what we were looking for - we can gladly use raid 1 instead of raid 10, these boxes are already overprovisioned compared to what we already have in the field. Thank you!

Awesome! it turns out the LSI 1068E controller supports both raid 1E, and hot spares, so I was able to run the following:
raidctl -C "0.0.0 0.1.0 0.2.0 0.3.0 0.4.0 0.5.0 0.6.0" -r 1E 1
which creates a 7 disk Raid 1E
Followed by:
raidctl -a set -g 0.7.0 c1t0d0
which adds a hot spare.
Fantastic, thank you again!
