Content drive is two 500 GB SATA drives at RAID 1

RAID 1 is always worth it. No complaints here.

we store our encodes and masters on a 14TB raid6 array in our office and a lot of that is also backed up on servers in the datacenter and on external harddrives.

According to SNIA (Storage Networking Industry Association), the definition of RAID 6 is: "Any form of RAID that can continue to execute read and write requests to all of a RAID array's virtual disks in the presence of any two concurrent disk failures."

Dammmn! Nice. If I shot more content I'd do that.
