Cold storage, what raid do you run?

I have a unit with 72 X 4TB drives... it's actually 3 X Netapp put together to create the 72 bay unit. I kind of hate it because of how small the drives are, but I'm broke, I can't afford bigger drives.

This will be mainly use for cold storage as I don't want to have to run this beast of a unit 24/7.

Should I run 3 pools of Raid 5? just 1 drive per every 24 as backup?
