You state in your specs. that it will support RAID 60... But you only have 6 drives? Support Raid 50 makes sense with 3 drives per RAID 5 1 drive is for backup. Raid 6 uses 2 drives for backup so 60 would need at least 4 drives time 2 = 8 drives.
How do you support the RAID 60?
The RAID 60 support is only on the 12big and not the 6big. You are correct that it requires 8 drives minimum.

Can the USB port be used to connect to WiFi router (USB3 typeA through converter of course) to have access to files over WiFi? The TB3 ports would be connected to an iMac and a 2nd 4K (Displayport) display - so all used concurrently.
No, I am sorry unfortunately this is not supported by this unit.

Are swappable drives (spare drives) available to purchase?
No, not any SATA drive can be swapped. Seagate/LaCie test and certify a handful of SATA drives that will work properly with the 6Big/12Big. You will need to go to LaCie's support page for the HDD compatibility list.
