Those boxes spec at 240 MB/sec Raid 0 so you’re about there already except now you have some protection if a drive fails using raid 5. If this is a software raid5 you may not be as protected as you think.
My experience with the FusionD800 and atto R380 raid5 have been excellent. I’ve lost two drives, at different times, pulled the drive, stuck it on a sled, reformatted the drive in the macpro and placed it back in service. hit rebuild and away we go. That was a year and a half ago, day in day out use. the spare drive sits in a cabinet just in case. It captures/plays back anything we throw at it even running it to 95% full. This setup is a hardware Raid5.Doug Beal

Second Shane and Walter’s suggestion for FSI
we have 3 2450W’s here. We use them day in day out, cutting, grading.
One thing a lot of LCD and Plasmas won’t do is show both fields while you’re parked on a frame. The FSI’s will. their interlace algorithm is superb along with everything else about them.Doug Beal

The only time I select it, for rendering, is for maintaining color fidelity after DPX to quicktime conversion and I’m using aja Kona 10bit RGB. otherwise i’m in high precision YUV and outputting to tape. I used to have to use it with a plugin package i used to have from Digital Film Tools.

perhaps you were running a trial version of NTFS for mac software and the trial ran out?
If you are not going to mount this drive on a PC and write to it from the PC, copy your files somewhere and format it Mac OS Extended
If it is being used between 2 platforms purchase either MacDrive on the PC (from Media4)
or NTFS for mac (from paragon)Doug Beal

Lhi is 2 channels analog and AES you can change pairs to monitor, in the control panel but not 4CH at once.
you would need a de embedder to do that, de embedding the SDI stream to 4 CH analog to get that into your mackie,
or monitor a tape machine in E-E via analog outputs of the tape machine while mixing, or off tape while capturingDoug Beal

Back in the day…there was more data in the color stream and FCC would not allow the required 4% increase required in bandwidth to maintain frame rate so the frame rate was slowed down and the data fit in the allowed bandwidth.
Of course now we have DTV, it’s all better, hard of hearing have caption trouble, stations randomly dropout with OTA antennas, and stations now have 4 times the bandwidth they once had to sell all that much more advertising to pay for the transition. Haven’t you noticed how many more spots you’re cutting? and we still have our legacy frame rateDoug Beal

If the same tape from the same machine will go into an avid on A frames and the footage is not matching the TC on the FCP system it’s time to make sure the device control is not corrupted, that you are getting ref to your kona (easy to spot on the Kona control panel)
have you tried creating a new device control. copy sony VTR A name it VTR C or some such and verify VITC and LTC are selected, use deck search enabled and then your offset settings.
Also verify that TCR is in auto on the dbeta machine.
If that and the usual pref trash etc don’t fix it it’s time to call AJA.Doug Beal
