Worth mentioning that some 3D stuff on the web has double the bitrate of 1080p60. Still seems to play fine of externals though.

I don't think RAID5 would ever be the bottleneck (not sure why it would be slower - I guess the parity calculations are slower than than writing to disk?). Would RAID ever be slower than USB?
