I assume that depends upon the kind of HD stream/codec? I'm currently trying out 7 streams of DVCProHD 720p60 (plus two PCM audio streams) and it is working fine so far on an internal eSata drive in my old 2006 Mac Pro (v1.1).
I hate to even say it but this is a test of FCPX's new multicam, but I would assume it would be equivalent in MC6.
