SSDs are pretty pricey for video. I use HDDs, mirrored. For some uses I put a SSD caching layer on top to speed up frequent R/W. Using only LVM, no fancy RAID hardware or anything.

    I upgraded my datahoarding server to a pair of 18TB hard drives on ZFS with mirroring a little while back. It'll be several years before I need to upgrade again, but I expect that when I do, SSDs will be cheap enough to go that route.

    Already have a 10Gbps fiber connection to that server, so the hard drives are the bottleneck.
