It's nearly impossible to record even 10 audio streams of 32 bit 48k audio simultaneously to a 5400 RPM drive and then if you throw video into the equation, you're looking at continual crashing and errors.

You might want to revisit this one. Much higher cache and spin speeds of 5900 and larger platters will do just about anything you want.
Just swapped out an older 5TB 7200 drive from my son's gaming PC that was starting to talk loudly with a 4 TB 5900 drive with a 256MB cache and it is noticeably quicker.
