On server systems with multiple TB of storage it would be just brain dead to put all recordings on one large raid filesystem. A single error in the filesystem could kill all the recordings.
Why, with RAID-0 yes, but RAID-0 is not raid at all. Use proper hardware with RAID-5 or better.
I talked about a single failure in the filesystem and not about a single failure of a disk. Of course I use Raid5.
The other problem ist the time to resync a Raid5 after a system crash. During this time the Raid is unprotected.
