I thought Raid 5 and others are supposed to let you keep working when a drive goes bad, at least that's the theory. Perhaps the nature of the drive error is causing a repeated request that is taxing the system enough to cause the playback issue? What if you take a short section that is studdering and consolidate that to the internal drive, assuming that is fast enough. I've run dnx 220 off a single internal drive on a Mac Pro. If it's a fresh consolidate the consolidated media shouldn't be too fragmented so I'd expect it to playback okay. If it still studders from the internal drive take your external raids offline and see if that makes a difference.

Just bought these a few months back but hard to find already. Do I have to have the exact same model number or just same make and size to replace in a Raid 5 box?
