    RE: 720P... Does RAID5 provide any tangible benefit in this kind of situation? It's not like you can hot swap out some bad NAND or a failed controller and rebuild the array if something dies. Anyone running something like this is going to have a backup on mechanical anyway, so the parity seems to just be consuming pricey SLC NAND and controller CPU cycles that could be put to much better use IMHO.

    Is the RAID5 there to improve the reliability of the SLC NAND? Is it error prone to the extent that this is necessary?
