Hi Eric,
If you stripe 3 of your internal drives under RAID 5, say if you have 1TB each. Instead of getting 3 TB, you will end up something close to 2 TB for you to use .
Using 3 regular sata drives under RAID 5 will let you edit 4 streams of ProRes HQ according to apple’s site. I think if you want to do 10 bit uncompressed HD, you will need to use 4 drives which like you said it’s not recommended.
Caldigit has a similar products call caldigit raid card which they claims to have external ports to connect more drives(more speed?). Maybe you can call them up or check out their website. https://www.caldigit.com
Good luck

I was at Macworld and caldigit was showing their new RAID card that does RAID 0, 1, 5 and 6. It works with the 4 internal drives and then you can add up to 12 drives externally. It looks really tempting and I wanna get myself one when it’s out.
Correct me if I am wrong, Unlike caldigit’s raid card, I think HighPoint’s RocketRAID 2314 is a software RAID. Since caldigit claims their RAID card is a truly hardware one, I think you should really have a look.
BTW, they were showing a short clip at Macworld telling people the differences between software RAID and hardware RAID. One of the guy at caldigit told me it’s also available at youtube. I did a little search and found it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4WjVJIJqdI&feature=related
Good Luck
