you do have x1900?
You need x1900 at these resolutions 7300 has very poor performance at hi-def sizes
I have the X1900.

I did the test you suggested. Though not unraiding the disks but copying the test files folder to the system disk.

Same result 3 layers with 1920x1080 playback at 25fps.
Layer 4 plays back just below 25 fps.

So the RAID seems to be no advantage at all. I did not expect this. I believed the RAID should have a greater bandwidth and perform better with larger files.

For sure I will look into the MTRON SSDs. But 1500 Euros for 64 GB is quite a statement...
